Most of my series are long-term endeavors that I work on concurrently. I take pleasure in resolving the aesthetic issues I bring about.
My challenge is to analyze the complexity of lines that have gathered on the canvas from which I construct pure and simple compositions and to depict a continuous path from the complexity of life to the simplicity of existence. What matters in each of bodies of work is the unconscious manifestation of internal impulses as the initial response to the environment.
I become almost ethereal as a result of a strong force, a spiritual fascination with an idea, which causes me to give an abstract thought a clear shape. I am more aware of the careful manipulation, arranging, and sorting I am doing while perceiving the resistance or softness of the fabric since there is always a potential for failure. I’m always ready to revisit a hazy thought from the past, bring it back to life, and start over. It’s exciting to observe how my style changes over time as I alter its movement, take it in various directions at once, and choose the best one.
“Everything I do arises from the pure impulse of existence.”
