Abstract Artist
I'm an abstract artist living in New York City. I've been painting since I was six years old. I hate labeling my art I think it's a little bit of everything but have been told it's very New York. I found peace and spirituality through painting. I hope you can find a piece of yourself in my work too. Enjoy! Every painting is a piece of me, a situation, a feeling, a pain, joy or confusion. A puzzle I am still trying to put together.I find it hard to express everything I feel inside. My experiences can't be expressed with ordinary words. I use painting as a language. It is shocking and gentle at the same time. It awakens my senses and takes me to a world I want to be in, where I can experience past, present and sometimes see the future. I use color, shapes and different objects to help me express what I want to convey.
When I paint my emotions and experiences can be overwhelming. Sometimes I feel the effect of another person. It's like unwrapping a box and finding different objects inside and trying to make sense out of it. Every moment is discovery.
I paint because I have to. I feel electric and sharp. All the ideas flowing through. I'm one-on-one with the canvas. The white canvas is silent from where I try to awaken the shapes and forms- trying to express what's already there but unseen. My soul is my paintbrush. While creating I feel as if I'm playing in a field of all possibilities with the elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Time, Space. Impulses of my inner self give the elements direction. It's all very spontaneous, fast. The whelling up and flow of life inside moves my arm and hands to unfold the color and shapes on the canvas. And the exhilaration created is part of the process. The joy of the process makes me want to paint again, and it all starts over again.
I use paint because I feel connected to it. The medium chose the artist. My mind is swimming in creative energy and I'm compelled to express that.
