My paintings are complete fabrications in every last detail. They are visions of landscapes that appear in my head after meditations or dreams. These visions I transfer to the canvas with expressive brush strokes and bold colors. I always find joy painting landscapes where I show how beautiful nature is.
I strive to find perfection in every endeavor I commit to without limiting myself to any set of rules or barriers. If the painting lacks perfection, change it. My painting process evolves overtime. What I have in mind when I start a painting may end up completely different, of what I first conceived. Kind of natural selection applied to the painting.
The creative act lies in inventing the sort of accidents that lead to a successful result in this case something that resembles reality and satisfies formal painting consideration of composition, value, saturation and temperature. The end result is unknown and can remain so well into the process. What comes out, however, is anything but ordinary.
I create artwirk to be felt, heard, touched, smelled and last but not least seen. If my painting stirs emotions of excitement, joy, freshness and energy then I can say the work is done, and I move to the next project.
