technique: Oilpainting
Style: Abstract
Statement:
For me, the best part of painting is color and exploring the way paint interacts on the canvas. I am not so much interested in objects in my surroundings, but the feeling or memory of my surroundings. I have been living in Portland for over 4 years and am very inspired by the Pacific Northwest. The colors reflected in my paintings are reminiscent of the land around me. My compositions resemble a landscape seen passing at high speeds and evoke a sense of travel.
