Artists do not stand alone through their art.
For me, art is not only a platform for communication and expression; it is the interpretation and reaction to outside influences. Combined with creative passion fed by driven concepts, art is cohesively defined by inter-truth.
Driven by the raw emotions from within, my work dissects these emotions through the use of a variety of raw materials. It’s not the characteristic of the material that interests me, it’s how to arrange creative emotions into shapes and colors that initiates the beginning of design and artistic intent.
'Between Color' series involve the interpretation of line, as the direction for emotional thought, form as the essence of an idea and color, as the definable term for seeing.
