Biography

Artist Statement

I use color in a reduced limited palette of very low intensities, as I believe it represents a realistic view of both the subject matter and of life itself, while simultaneously making a comment about contemporary society. Color, as amazing, dazzling, and beautiful as it is, sometimes masks our outlook and perceptions of truth.  By using opposite hues of green and red, color is brought together in a harmonious relationship. The world is not black and white, nor is it multicolor and high-definition. Life is shades of gray, and I believe my style of painting defines those values. Nevertheless, there is an important role for color to play in the subtle contrasts of warm and cool tones.  The color is implicit.  It teases, whispers to the viewers the longer they look at my paintings.
