Artists Statement:
I strive to create timeless abstract art that draws you into my colorful, chaotic world. My art is about finding a harmonious equilibrium within a well balanced composition. I do this by creating a balance between organic/geometric line work, and color gradations. Whether the subject is perfectly symmetrical or asymmetrical. My use of line work creates a general flow that moves your eyes throughout the artwork. Overall, my vision is to push the boundaries of abstract contemporary art by adding my own unique twist. A few artists that inspire my work are; Francis Picabia, Victor Vasarely, M.C. Escher, and Wassily Kandinsky.
