"Bitter sweet" 2005-2006, Mixed media on canvas


 

My work currently deals with issues of identity. I strive to create dreamlike
.
atmospheres, which capture a moment frozen in time that is inspired by
.
mood, sensuality and truth. I aim to self-exam my relationships and memories, .
.
interpret them, and express them visually.


I am greatly inspired by various cultures and fashions from both the past and
.
present, which I feel allows me to connect to the viewer. Along with paint, I.
.
enjoy using different types of paper and raw materials to create overlapping
.
colors and patterns that compose spontaneous configurations. Organic
.
bleeds, imperfections, and relationships occur with these materials resulting
.
in .unusual shapes and designs. I’m interested in the building up and breaking
.
down of pattern, line and color to create a sense of depth. These formal
.
qualities are directly related to the mood of my work, in which I would like the
.
viewer to identify with.
