Artist Statement

Game of Balance

“At times I feel as if I go to war with a painting. The process is a battle of balancing chaotic movements propelled by the current variables of emotions and feelings that move through me. Attempting to remain hyper focused within distractions and the will of my freedom to express myself can be an exhilarating challenge. Swift, quick and energetic actions can turn into unsatisfactory artwork within seconds.

Feeling as if I should not move forward with this waste of paint in front of me. Seeing no clear way to a path to create a painting I am content with. Continuing to stare at the canvas for long periods of time. Attempting to configure a way to progress within a state of doubt versus faith. The intensity of my energy becomes detached from the world and becomes one with the process of creation. Having faith and confidence in the unknown is what allows me to complete my work with success in times of uncertainty and confusion.

Calculated yet spontaneous actions generated through a power deep inside, yet far away. Through a mixture of sport, dance and long pauses the energy from my movements inspired by immaterial realms becomes transferred into material form onto the canvas. The pauses in between movement allow me to decode the next best actions. Turning my paintings dealing with mental warfare into a work of possible enchantment for future viewers.”
