I paint to express and understand myself—to release the energy and emotions within me through a creative process that blends spontaneity with control. My approach to action painting is highly physical and involves my entire body. I work in short, energetic bursts, using aerial gestures that let gravity assist in creating my signature swirls, splatters, and drips. This physicality is essential to channeling creative energy and expressing pure emotion. I chose to paint abstractions because it is the most direct and immediate way I know to creatively express my feelings, emotions, and thoughts. In a series of rapid-fire movements and split-second decisions, the interwoven layers of curvilinear lines, swirls, and splatters emerge on the canvas and soon give rise to an allover rhythmic composition that evokes balance and harmony.
