There have been many obstacles for me to deal with during my journey as an artist and as an individual. I, however, look to these obstacles as circumstances that influence my artwork. I have learned how to slow down, to look at beauty in all its many details, to appreciate the texture of a blade of grass, or the bark of a tree, or the color variations in a lizard’s skin. I notice the vibrancy of wildflowers, or nuances of light reflected off an animal’s fur. Life’s demands have forced me to extract as much as possible, the visual stimuli all around me, which others may pass by. I strive to capture the subtle transitions of colors, the uneven textures and the irregularities in the colors and shapes that make my subject matter unique. I like to exaggerate a particular color and make it that much more striking. I find beauty in the most unusual places and I like to share that perspective with others through my paintings. In the end, I am seeking depth and passion. This is what my art affords me, and hopefully, the viewer of my work can experience the depth and passion I strive for.
