The City I Live In. New York, 40 x 60", oil acrylic on canvas
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
Creativity is a way to tell a story and evoke emotion. The philosophy of Kazimir Malevich and Suprematism, his Russian abstract art movement, offers a unique look at the world around us through its characteristically simple geometric shapes, a significant source of inspiration for my art. One of my most vital goals in creating my works is to inspire a new way of thinking, as abstract art promotes the ability to express freely in an original way.
I expand my artistic view on abstract forms that blend lines, shapes, and color. Through these modalities, I strive to capture the mood of the surrounding world, and I am drawn toward the simple, unpretentious, and quotidian in framing my vision of reality. This sensibility can be reflected in my abstract series "Love in Three Colors" and "Adam & Eve Rebirth," which depict emotional connections between people, passions, and expressions of love that provoke a sense of movement as a continuation of life.
Working with traditional materials such as oil, watercolor, ink, and pencil, I create abstract artworks that capture the beauty of seemingly mundane objects and spaces. My art is a visceral experience, a tool with which I can express, envision, and share with others the concepts of life that drive humanity most—such as love, truth, and the underlying beauty of the everyday experience.
