My mission is to boost human spirit, establishing an uplifting connection of souls with the audience that invigorates each individual in a relationship with the external environment. Each piece is unique in its deconstructed objects, pigments, depth of tone, and universally appealing thoughts that inform each painting. My hope is to directly affect audience perceptions and feelings affirmatively, subconsciously assuring our appreciation of artifacts and their meaning to us in the world. Each intensity of color generates a specific energetic and nutritive effect.
It interacts with our mind and body at an organic level, engaging with the observer uniquely emotionally, physically, and mentally. My goal is to stimulate the audience to be optimistic and joyful. Furthermore, I want to create authentic works that are durable, even eternal, because of the highest quality of painting materials. Each work is one-of-a-kind, unique in my dynamism of the moment and slight distinctions, not mere clones.
I concentrate on oil and acrylic paintings for the strength of their special characteristics. Producing hues and tones that are bright, which convincingly allude to the joyful message of each work. They appeal to a specific taste, which is on the same level of excitement with my own attraction to the particular artistic subject. Each painting is completed in1-4 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of composition. As well, I do daily acrylic painting, with limitless subject schemes, and completed in half the time of an oil painting. I am proud to provide a Certificate of Authenticity with every piece.
