My work depends on the state of mind, abstract one time, figurative the
other, depending on the mood and need to express. Discover thoughts, painted
with harsh artificial light to create compositions which, condensed in time,
stand out, each one apart, in its own entirety. I invite the observer into the
thought process behind the work. and to caution against any definitive
interpretation.
