Statement
I am an abstract, geometric painter. I have never thought of being anything except an artist. I map out my paintings with precise symmetry and a singular imagination. Creating three-dimensional design on a two-dimensional surface, I am able to fascinate the viewer with a sense of illusion. Geometric Hard-Edge Art, with its rich tradition, continues to find its admirers and certainly I am one for whom the contemporary style holds sufficient meaning.
Painted from an inventive pallet, some of my works are monochromatic while others are multicolored and very visual. Painting with the hard-edge technique, which entails painstaking masking and unmasking, I achieve my optical effects. Distinguished by my sense of movement and space, I try to stir the viewers mind, and imagination.
