category: Painting
technique: Oilpainting
Style: Abstract


Statement:
I have a color and spatial sketch in my mind before starting my painting. I begin by pouring the colors onto the surface of the background in various shapes and patterns. The shapes and forms emerge through the constant blending and manipulation of the paint; interlacing forms, bows and curves that constantly intersect to produce spatial structures which could be altered endlessly.

To cause something to change and flow, to make it relative suites me. I edit out and build upon what I feel is working. Sometimes when images come about by chance they are fresher more organic, more inevitably. Instinct takes charge. The composition of different forms, colors, structures, proportions, harmonies, etc. comes out as an abstract system analogous to music. Letting a thing come, rather then following a precise plan can be more genuine, richer, and more alive. Music filters into my work, like lines of dialogue. The rawness of experiencing sounds, from Mozart to Dylan, is what I try to translate into a visual vocabulary. Music relies on an established structure, one that allows for infinite expression of guttural emotion. That liberty within form inspires my own explorations in painting. Feelings, sensations produce a specific emotional effect.

In my black and white paintings the elimination of color creates a simplification that has to carry the emotion alone on the shapes and spatial relationships that are formed by the intertwining swirls and blobs of paint.

Chance plays an important role in my paintings however is never blind chance: it’s a chance that is always planned, but also always a surprise.
