Inspired mainly by: subconscious, dreams, fantasy, memory, feelings, string theory, holographic theory, quantum theory, cognitive science, randomness, chaos, microscopic, macroscopic.
I prefer working with watercolors, acrylics, oils, oxidations, collage, fabric on canvas, paper, metal, wood and basically mixed media. Anything I can get my hands on really.
In my paintings I work from memory and/or imagination, and I like experimenting with different materials, techniques and tools. I usually prefer to start a painting with a very flexible idea, a memory or a feeling and allow room for constructive randomness and chance. I am usually experimenting with different or altered perspectives, and I am more interested in the fragmented, deformed out of focus way of
expressing and/or perceiving “reality”.
The creation of different textures, the thickness or type of the paint, the constant dialogue with the non-specific, the back and forth, the layers of colors, the adding and the subtracting are all part of the process I enjoy
and follow when painting.
My educational background and early professional years are scientific (BSc Industrial Chemistry and Design from The City University, London, UK) but have
been into arts & crafts for...
