After decades of exploring the works of several organic architects
such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff, I started to feel the
need to create an art that recreated the feeling that their architecture
gave to me.
My work is about the beauty of
how forms work with each other, very similar to classical music. My
work is free form, yet structured. The use of color, shapes and
form blend with each other to give what I think are some remarkable
effects.
Each of my works evolves through
many stages. Like an orchestral work, I create different elements on
layers (like the different instruments in an orchestra). These layers
overlap, some being transparent, some bold and bright. As I create,
I tweak each aspect of the art until I am satisfied with the
finished product. I look at myself as a conductor when I bring each
element in and out of the overall work to create vibrant musical
color.
