An inward journey....
I have always considered painting as a discrete language, not of words but of perception, feelings and beliefs. My paintings are impressions of the internal aspects of my life. These images present unique qualities of me, as expressed through the process of painting and with the interrelationships of the world around me.
I begin without predetermined conclusions, but with the simple intention to respond. While painting, a multitude of emotions cloud my mind which I shower onto the canvas. Through a progression of layered materials, a surface is established. The resulting imagery is often ambiguous, challenging perceptions, and building relationship, by asking the viewer to find their own definition for the work. However, irrespective to what I feel at the time of painting, my constant pursuit is that the viewer experiences sheer delight in the presence of my works.
Sometimes, a rainbow of colors emerges from the onyx, whereas at times, an epoch passes by in the luminous golden light and every time, hope wins over despair, I am aspired to start all over again. Truth loses its essence when it is spoken out. Where words and ideas end, my creative process begins, my internal landscape come forward, I work intuitively, drawing from this vast, boundless, immeasurable space from inside as well as outside.
