Behind aparte....

My life is reflected in my art - so to understand
that black and white are consistent colors
because they fascinate me - sometimes with
a touch of red.
Black and white are strong, pure, innocent and
sophisticated colors. They present harmony and
peace in my work

I began to paint in 2000 with oil but have now found
my very own style with acrylic.

Feelings, thoughts, expiriences are my driving force.
My little oasis without limits - where impressions
becomes expressions.

I paint with knife, brush, sponge and fingers.
Many paintings have more layers - to achive a
heavy structure.

My paintings have no title - it is up to the individual.

Art is created from what the eye sees

If one hopes to be told exactly what to think, what to feel, or what to see when viewing a painting, walk away from these paintings.
My art is specifically designed to have no defined message to be received, but to
stimulate the imagination to create its own meaning.
During this process of interpretation, the viewer is involved in my favorite pastime,
the joy of creation. Those who claim not to have "one creative bone" in their body: I invite
to view one of my paintings and see what comes to mind.
Abstraction is used in my work to inspire meanings and feelings unique to the individual viewing my work.
When an image is abstract, the viewer has the freedom to decide what they are seeing
by creating it in their imagination. This means the painting can represent something very
distinct in the intellect of the viewer and therefore, what the painting represents
can be unique to that specific viewer.

The goal of my work is to stimulate your imagination to create anything you desire in
the painting, and apply this creation to the painting, releasing complete interpretive freedom.
Therefore, while some might not find any meaning in my work, others will know the exact meaning of a given piece by what their intuition tells them,
because there is no wrong answer.
