                       ARTIST'S STATEMENT
 

“I express myself my love of nature and my fascination with its mysterious and complex relationship with man. This lyrical emotional response is an important facet of my work, but I also put a great emphasis on the structure underlying each piece. My problem solving skills   which I built up during my years of experience in science and technology, allow me to execute my work with a high degree of rationality. Before painting a work, I set myself objectives, and engage in work with a pre-established framework of procedures.

I am still evolving as a painter, drawing inspiration from nature and artists. I cite the Impressionists and lately the fauvists as many of my influences, but does not imitate any artist or school, and strive to make my style spontaneous and inimitable.”
