STATEMENT

"To make art with all the questions answered deprives the viewer of the joy of participating in the act of creation. The choices I make between figuration and abstraction, between what is implied and what is revealed, serve to pull the viewer into the paintings surface and leave them with questions. My work is about transforming the mistake . In my process I re-use old paintings, actively damaging the surface to give each a history, with my goal to reflect more authentic concept of what is considered beautiful."
