I believe that art is formulated in the unconscious before the artist realizes any clear form in his mind. At least in my case, every step in the process of painting is dictated by intuition that leads through the darkness of the unconscious mind. I progressively recognize the work as I create it.

I have never, at any time made use of preparatory sketches. Each new painting starts from an unmarked surface. From there it proceeds spontaneously.

A painting is for me as a space of exploration. I use acrylic paint, polymer resin and sand. Probing the physicality of the materials, I work in a process of layering, pouring, scraping off, scratching into the surface, effacing, leaving traces of earlier information, all of this eliciting from the viewer a continuous shifting in the perception of forms, a build up and overlap of successive stages which demands that his or hers attention continually adjusts in order to consider the various perceptual possibilities within the subject.

The inner necessity is the only driving power. I aim to express what my heart has experienced and I want to appeal to the hearts of the viewers.

I am not interested in creating art for selected intellectuals who have been trained to "see the 21st century art", nor for the masses in an appeal for popular images and sentiments. My desire is to manifest the spiritual, to make the spirit real I my life and work.

The fusion of colors and harmonies is my vocabulary of communication. I believe that the forms I create in my works come from nature since my inner world is not "abstracted" from nature but rather immersed in it. I am not interested in representing nature itself but rather in correspondence between the forms of nature and the world of Spirit.
