Art

My goal is to translate, not copy

- the tree is anchored to the ground;

- the water carves its path around it. 

- The appearance of nature changes continuously with the movement of the sun and our experiences.  Which is the TRUTH, if not any? 

The elements are color, line, and shape ... - each has infinite potential to assemble structures and suggest the relationships and flow of  nature - can also become symbols that bring to mind the human condition. The character of one determined by the other.

It is said about art / writing / music: "avoid cliché' like the plague." 

- Meaning that we painters are obliged to introduce new elements, to surprise and avoid formula.

About this we have little choice: Each decision feels right or it doesn't. This is equally true for representational and abstract compositions.

The goal is to be authentic but also to provide fresh

 perspectives about nature and life - to contribute also to where we are going.
