My Process
In my paintings I reconstruct aspects of natural forms and textures.
My intention is to bring the viewer into a world that they are familiar with and feel comfortable with. I would like the viewer to connect subconsciously, to get drawn into discovering the paintings aspects and to be enriched by the formal beauty of the abstract form.
My interest in architecture is reflected in my artwork.
I include the interplay of geometrical lines with natural patterns. I’m fascinated by the phenomena of the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci numbers which play a significant role in nature and architecture and I follow these principles of design to create ecstatic value. Buildings like Roman and Greek temples were designed according to the golden ratio and artists like Leonardo Da Vinci used the codes to achieve pleasing proportions in their paintings. Same proportions repeat naturally in any of the human faces both female and male.

I use specific techniques to create depth with multiple layers,
Starting with a textured base that can include distressed fabric , paper and paint mediums. I often remove parts of painted layers to bring underlying layers partially to the foreground. I often finish my paintings with a fine art resin which gives my paintings added depth and a glass like finish that increases the vibrancy of the highly pigmented acrylics and protects the painting from UV light.
