Artist's Statement
"As a
realist painter, my main focus and inspiration is the
environment in which I live. I feel a constant urge to
record my thoughts and sensations through painting to
bring a contemporary portrayal of my surroundings. My
search as an artist is to record visually those elusive
elements that define a thing or place and successfully
interpret such feelings as solitude, bareness and
desolation. The more I worked on my painting, the more I
came to see that the light is really the unifying thread
to all the paintings - whether I am conveying the warmth
of dusk or the intense midday sun beating down on the
landscape, or an artificial light illuminating a country
porch in the middle of the night, light is the central
theme. In the mode of artists like Cezanne and Wyeth, I
never grow tired of revisiting subjects and motifs over
and over again, forever in search of the elusive perfect
picture."
