To develop something
visually intriguing out of pure imagination is the pinnacle of creativity. Kandinsky stated, “Of all the arts,
abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw
well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for color, and
that you be a true poet. This last is essential.”
Guided
by intuition, a fusion of gesture and
geometry flows
out onto the canvas in my abstract
paintings. Although I begin my work with a basic
composition and color scheme, I yield to what is happening in the painting as it develops. However, many subjective
considerations and decisions are required to discover the painting's potential. A back-and-forth between spontaneity and
intention characterizes my approach. To create a
complexity of pattern and texture, I incorporate elements of collage in the layers
of acrylic paint. The juxtaposition of muted with intense color and
transparent with opaque areas elaborates on the visual dance.
