The field of possibilities seems endless and confusing until I look for a place to put a color, then another. A line might turn into a shape or ask for more color. Once it starts, the balance swings from my hand to the painting. What does it want; equivalence, harmony, or is tension part of […]

Versatility summarizes my artistic development and personality. I am experimenting with various techniques, and mixing colors and materials, aiming to convey a mixture of suggestive color and expressionist brush works to generate feelings and emotions. My work is generated by spontaneous gesture-driven brushstrokes, transparencies, and the superposition of layers. The dripped paint technique evokes melancholic […]

Strong colors play an important role in my pictures in oil and acrylic. They allow me to express my positive view towards life. The owners of my paintings say that they are captivated by my landscapes, flowers or abstactions, and that my art is for the heart. Since 1982 I did over 50 exhibitions in […]

Abstract, colorful, and dynamic in composition, my paintings are created in the richness of oils, the spontaneity of acrylics, and fluidity of encaustic layers. They are an improvisation in color as paint covers the canvas in harmonious tones & colors creating a spontaneous “visual jazz.” I’m driven by color every day and listening to jazz […]

Since modern physics and cosmology give answers to todays philosophical questions, they simultaneously pose new ones. I think that these sciences should be spread more into fine arts, and I do this by painting. My work consists of different concepts. Over the years, did I work exclusively of acrylic on canvas in order to concentrate on […]
