Statement

I see my “vocation of the visual” as a search suspended between two “poles” which are the motives, and the justifications of my efforts. First, there is the experience of observable reality. This experience is highly subjective, personal, and intense. Second, there is the desire to attain an ever-elusive internal coherence of colors, planes, and lines on a two-dimensional surface.

My process is both intuitive and intellectual. For it revolves around the attempts to infuse a two-dimensional plane with subjective experiences, and to impart coherence and structure to the visual reflection of these experiences.

The process of my work is a dialogue between the subjective experience and the more objective ideal of order and harmony. My pieces, therefore, are always born somewhere between the Experience and the Ideal. As they grow, they strive to reach the unrepeatable particularity of the former and the utmost beauty of the latter.

  1. First off I woulԁ likе to ѕay tеrrifіc blog!
    I haԁ a quiсk question that I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Kudos!http://bethel.patch.com/events/hunted-season-1-episode-8-snow-maiden-watch-it-for-free-online-stream
