Artwork Description

“Time is a very important factor in my practice…I need to wait for the paint to dry to a certain degree before I scrape it off, and this is how I get these effects on the surface of my paintings. It's a meditative practice by itself. The criss-cross effect makes every point a representation of energy. For me when I sit down, and when I meditate, I feel, and I see the energy that is within me. We're all made of energy, so it's just a question of tuning in and understanding it and connecting to it. Once you do that, you start feeling things and even seeing things combined together, and you have a new experience. And this is where the technique was born.”
