Life travels in the U.S., Canada, Europe and the Middle East have determined the nostalgic and atmospheric character of my work which consists mainly of mixed media on canvas and on paper. I consider myself a color field artist and am foremost a colorist. I put myself in a color mood and apply the paint to create a layered atmospheric composition, sometimes with collages. I rarely work with a preconceived vision for the final product, thus allowing the possibility of ambiguity and surprise. Conceptually, I try to immerse the viewer in the perceptual experience of space, color and light. My paintings actualize perception by carefully balancing these elements. I have a fascination with creative imagery, that is an area of space occupied by floating forms that may join or float independently. Finally by using color and texture, I try to breathe movement into my abstract landscapes to guide the viewer into the paintings and making him wander into a different reality.
