A permanent characteristic of my work is synthesis and painting matter. It combines diverse, often extreme areas of my painting explorations. It is important for me to move between different ways of imaging, which is dictated by the desire to create the best possible record of the content I am interested in. I place my expressions in the area "between" geometry and bioform, abstraction and figuration, metaphor, and literality.
