Artist’s Statement
I am a visual artist and graphic designer with a particular fondness for abstract landscapes and immersive textures. I like to work with a wide variety of mediums and therefore my portfolio includes collection of diverse art. I love to explore and improvise with different techniques and materials.
My art is strongly influenced by my extensive world travels and sense of curiosity. The works are mostly created in my Rockland studio in Massachusetts, based on memories of travel experiences, as well as daily inspirations. Some works address social and political issues, globalization, and the environment. I am mostly known for using vibrant pure colors and textures in my art in order to create truly unique and unusual artwork; this often leads to creation of series of work.
