Statement

Having experienced painting and drawing for many years, the ultimate reflection within ones work is drawing. The line is an integral part within the structure of making art. The idea of the line is of the upmost importance. My work begins with that line and continues to learn the fabrics of the drawing to the painting. Although my work is constructed with an abstract frame it is fundamental to achieve all possibilities to push further my philosophy of the two acts. The stronger the line the richer it becomes, therefore new ideas and sensations are formed. How can one paint without the exploration of drawing? Looking at the painters of Venice to Arshile gorky, the art of the past makes you understand and inspire your art and the importance of the line and paint, today and tommorrow.
