Comments:
I find myself to be drawn by deep sense of inner force, a subconscious force that works in me to create the painting. I consciously judge them and accept them or reject them with my knowledge and understanding. The stripes of Tiger gave me way to the use of geometric pattern. I have tried to show a strong preference for bright vibrant tones which sometimes bear relation to the nature.
In my paintings I do not abandon material reality. As natural terrain and manmade structures are deliberately fragmented beyond recognition. I have tried to subject visible reality to prismatic analysis. |
