Modus operandi

 

"I am committed to abstraction. The work of Marc Rothko, Willem De Kooning 
and Paul Klee had a strong impact on my artistic education. I don’t try to depict 
reality, I rely on colour, contrast and texture to convey my feelings and make 
things visible "I spend a lot of time observing to absorb some details that I will 
use as a starting point for an abstraction. I love experimenting and am always 
looking for new techniques. I often start my paintings with a layer of collage, 
sand and impasto before developing the work with subtle layers of intermixed 
colours in acrylic, oil, glazing and gold leaf. I use a variety of mixed materials 
including pigment, Chinese paper and sand to create a surface that undulates, 
with intense patterning and texture.(see Ataraxia) I incorporate in the process 
details extracted from landscapes, walls, objects, transposing them in geometrical 
shapes, lines, scratches, brush marks and movements.
