Artist Statement

It is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean…we have salt in our sweat, in our tears, in our skin “And when we go back to the ocean – whether it is to sail or to observe it – we are going back to this instinctual belief that we all originate in the gesture of the moving sea. 

If you close your eyes and you listen to your breath, it’s exactly like the quiet waves, gently sounding across the grains of sand. Our urban lives are coupled with ocean life. And so is our creative personal nature. Our artistic language is familiar, universal, and repetitive. We try to interpret what we see and express its emotional understanding. 

By engaging with art we allow ourselves to notice similarities of the feelings that arise.  And that is our collective Nature. That is our universal ability to sense one into another. 

My artwork is an exploration, a gesture that reflects a moment in life, a composition that tells a personal story, And as “Nights through dreams tell the myths forgotten by the day.” ― C.G. Jung, Memories, Dreams, Reflections, So do my paintings, narrate events experienced, learned and forgotten and learned again by the human mind.
