My work has traversed realms from realism to impressionism and abstract expressionism, gradually edging toward 'the full abstract.' This journey, my fervent passion, revolves around the excitement of translating imagination into paint—an exploration into uncharted territories, seeking avenues of expression distinct from today's art trends. Grayson Perry once said 'everything has already been done.' Has it? My unique adventure unfolds through a gate, pushing beyond conventional boundaries into a world of novel ideas with a paintbrush. This process is both instant and misty; at times, my mind goes blank, allowing the paint to guide me. I resist rigidity, adapting styles to subjects as my imagination restlessly seeks new forms of expression. In the voyage through contemporary abstract art, I aspire to distill a voice of simplicity over time—reducing lines to a singular essence. Translating this instinct into words proves challenging. Chaos is easy; shaping form within is the true challenge. Balance within chaos is paramount, not merely splashing paint, but infusing form and stability to engage the viewer's mind. Even in abstract art, a narrative with a figuration tinge is imperative. There must always be something to provoke thought—no cats, flowers, or landscapes. Emptiness is shunned; imagination thrives when encountering others' artwork. For those underestimating the significance of art, dismissing it as inflated collector prices, reconsider. Currently, I'm crafting a series, "Art and Activism," comprising eight expansive canvases depicting panoramas of the Amazon, warming oceans, sea pollution, fossil fuel contamination, infrastructure instability, and biodiversity. Art becomes a form of protest—a voice for painters and writers alike. This project is set to tour schools in 2024, fostering awareness and reflection among the younger generation.
