Color! My art is an expression of my quest to capture and represent color and its complex dance with light. With watercolor, I am enchanted by delicacy, by the transformative impact of a single stroke, by the competing impact of water and texture and brushwork. The Acrylic medium liberates my creativity in the abstract, paint on paint, color on color, a vivacious dialog between the different shade and hues, strokes and texture. Acrylics free me to imagine in the abstract. I discovered depth and shadows in oils, like a slow and somber music composition. With oils I take my time, to ponder over every color, to represent the satiny fabric, the wooden bark, the light on water, the shadow on a face. For paintings of people and landscapes, weaving different elements seamlessly, I have tried my hand at a more abstract and bold style. Nature teases me with its infinite palate of colors and variations of texture. More challenges that it will take me a lifetime to address and enjoy.
