Abstract Oil Paintings

“My art is a dialogue—a call and response between my experiences and the medium that bears them. Each stroke, each hue is imbued with a piece of my narrative, yet remains open, allowing the viewer's own story to unfold within it. In this shared space of creation and interpretation, my paintings are more than visual objects; they are living entities that seek to engage, provoke, and resonate with the human spirit.”

Collisions Series

A series of paintings made under the idea of Collisions.

The vision kept coming to me, kept slipping away, kept changing. It is of light coming down and crashing like a glowing wave, like a graceful slide. The glow of hope, blur and clarity dancing the dance of eternity. I kept reaching for it and it kept slipping through my fingers.

I decided to paint it over and over because it moves like clouds. It is never static. It is some kind of Divine dance between clarity and obscurity; between logic and nonsense, between knowing and wondering. There is a line drawn like a horizon but it is not. It is a line between the dualities that sway inside us. The dream and reality that mixes up and makes us human. The collision that affirms that we are alive!

I will keep painting it for as long as it keeps tapping my shoulder.
