Artist's Statement   July 2023 Since 2003 I have painted things around me that I look and feel inspiring and beautiful. Now I paint things inside me that make me have done it.   July 2022 With my painting practice, Imerge what surrounds me with what is within me. Air, lights, times, energy, dimensions, and objects make upthe former and dreams, memories, habits, and feelings makes up the latter, resulting in a painted surface filled with symbolic and abstract images. These images are constructed with colors, textures, emotions, and energy. They are made out of oil paints, medium, and brush and palette knife strokes. They transform into lights, dimensions, profundities, and vitalities when successfully unitedthrough artistic spirituality. United they make a song of my mind.
