“Being an avid collector of abstract art since the early 1990s eventually lead to creating my own abstract works. My works are largely non-representational.

My paintings are characterized by a distinctive use of color and form that make for a unique style. Always seeking to develop new techniques and colors leads to a large variety in my work.

The process of creating my work is largely intuitive without pre-determined plans. The paintings proceed from beginning to end by letting the canvas speak and show the way.

This leads to a style that is totally uninhibited and presents infinite possibilities. Art is not only visual but also emotional. It is meant to be felt as much as seen."
