My latest exhibit - ANGELS & INSECTS is very much about incorporating paper cutting with the surrealist technique of automatism to gain insight into a subject. My process also included the deconstruction of the subject matter until I was leaved with images that could evokes a wide range of subliminal emotions. When conceiving these paintings, one thing was very apparent to me, I was looking at my subjects through some great microscopic lens. It is of interest to note that these paintings are also closely related to my sense of touch. All of them were created without the tradition use of a brush. They have been shaped simply by my hands & guided by intuition.

The sinuous, curving lines. The colliding of colors. These elements in my pieces are meant to have multiple meanings and extract a conversation with the viewer. I am not concerned with the replication of imagery. I am trying to exorcise the viewer away from the logical concept of time and space. If these images exist and I believe they do, then they are to be found in that place that existed before the great rift between man and nature/God. A place which exists beyond the reach of consciousness. Beyond oral language. With these paintings, I have tried to capture the pulse of silence that lingers after the words, after the images. The haunting sound of an angel’s beating wing.
