ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“My art explores shapes and forms that represent feelings and life experiences. I seek to give a sort of structure to the continuous emotions through geometric abstract work and color. It’s fascinating how you can create nonrealistic and impossible spaces using shapes and, how color plays a fundamental part in the narrative of each piece. Colors and color combinations can exert unexpectedly profound emotional effects.”
