I was a teenager when I fell in love with painting and used it as a tool to express myself as I am essentially not that good at expressing myself with words. I find it easier to express myself visually. I've been painting for a number of decades and I initially believed that to be a good painter, I first and foremost needed to be technically proficient.

I put a lot my time into becoming a technically good painter so that I could portray my vision as closely as possible to reality. I struggled for quite some time to populate my paintings with subject matter that I thought would be of interest to other people and I always thought that in order
for my art to be interesting to other people, it had to make some sense visually and it had to be instantly visually understandable.

However, over time, my feelings about this have changed and I decided to paint not for approval but for expression. I create paintings that I find comfortable to live with.

This series of paintings in process are about emotion and a state of being. They reflect my current spiritual and emotional status that I have no great desire to explain in detail
but rather to feel and express.

The seeds that inspired and propagated the theme begins at the universes’ microcosm. I firmly believe that art means different things to different people therefore an explanation of an artwork is not going to resonate with every single viewer. I believe that that is the power of art - that it can speak to different people in different ways. A seed that breaths and growth though each expression of my psyche.

Before, I've always wanted to express larger concepts and ideas and I’ve always strived for my paintings to portray or convey something profound. However, I decided to follow the instinct to go into the lens, under, on a microcosmic level to explore where emotions begins and venture to capture on a cellular level, biology and instinct.

These paintings come from a place of deep instinctual memory.

I believe that the lines in the paintings are markers, markers of time.

I believe that the lines refer to memory, cellular memory.

On a macro-level they manifest into to books and to the various ways we as humans record memory and experiences.

I think and I feel like the abstract surrealism that has come out of this and that will continue to progress over the years - grounded in memory, cellular memory, and time. Time cannot be stopped, however much we would like it to be it’s ongoing, ever changing and ever being starting from that source - the microcosm.

It is suggested time is an illusion but there’s no way for us as three-dimensional beings to see otherwise, we can only do this when we dream and what is art but a reflection of our dreams.
