ARTIST STATEMENT
My paintings are original abstract manipulations of digital pixels. I use this medium to create visualizations of my observations, emotions, and commentaries. The environment and human experience are sources of inspiration for my work. This includes our climate, our politics, and our emotional reactions to it all.
My immediate need is to paint the essence of being in the moment. Simple compositions of circles and spheres are often my subjects. They symbolize life in various conditions. As I create compositions, I rely on the elements and principles of art. I use the unlimited range of colors available in digital form to express myself. Value, dynamic line, and symmetry are important tools that I use to describe my state of being.
It's important to me to have the viewer see all my images as a diary of memorialized thoughts. I find that titles create a narrative that helps people relate to my abstract visuals. As a digital artist, my computer is my pad, palette and portfolio.
The art works I create are formed by manipulating pixels within magnetic algorithms, allowing the pixels to be pushed, pulled, stretched and colored resulting in original paintings. My art has been influenced by several art movements. including, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, Op-Art, and Geometric Hard Edge Painting revealing a new genre of techspressionism. I try to reveal the essence of forms, lines, space, and forces. My compositions depict our common state of being within our environment and world order. I use this digital medium to create visualizations of my observations, emotions, and commentaries. The environment and human experience are sources of inspiration for my work. This includes our climate, our politics, and my emotional reactions to it all. My immediate need is to paint the emotional essence of being in the moment.
