The artistic intention rolled out tends towards a search for novelty.
A questioning of technical and creative work is regularly necessary.
THE EXISTENTIAL ART GALLERY
Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario
I make sketches and photos which I then take back to the workshop. The pleasure of watercolour is irreplaceable. The dialogue between water, paper, the long time and the immediate is a mixed cocktail of risk and pure happiness.
With each stroke I see a story of myself, as water flows my mind begins to wander, holding to grasp the strands past memories, gently pulling me out of the room in the whirlwinds of my imagination.
Nature is my source of inspiration, the link of life between creation and breathing.
Its many facets bring me joy, wonder, surprises, and sometimes sadness …
All around us, and within us, is only vibration and waves, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small. Vibrations in a huge void!
Through my art, my aim is to capture the layers of nature that resonate in my soul. I paint nature’s vastness, I capture the beauty, and I harness its power at the same time.
For me creativity is a rather personal experience as opposed to painting for the satisfaction of somebody else, it is more a matter of making my little contribution to the continuous river of human expression.
I seek to capture the different personalities of my subjects and express those idiosyncrasies that are unique to tell their stories.
It is my curiosity and the desire to decipher, understand and organize the shapes and colours that motivate me to paint.
I look for interesting shapes, pattern and light in the landscape. The way the angle of the light hits the corner of a rock, or the complex patterns formed by snow on an evergreen, pebbles on a shoreline, all these inspire me.
