Artist Statement

I am fascinated with all the visual information around me. My paintings represent metaphorical interpretations of different environments I see and inhabit, from an interest mainly with the use of technology, especially in the visual world, such as is used in architecture, creative media such as music, graphics and animation, cinema, computer games, to technological systems such as the internet, and many other forms all inter-mapping to create further more complex systems which continue to challenge and evolve our senses.

My paintings are based around the use of color, volume, light and space within an architectural context, creating structures and hybrids of structures through dispersal, fusion, collisions and juxtapositions to extend the visual dynamics to create vast, endless areas of space and forms. I am greatly inspired by architectural theory and practice, especially the Deconstructivist theories of architects such as Peter Eisenman, Bernard Tschumi, Zaha Hadid, Daniel Libeskind and many others. Also the Russian Constructivists and the Italian Futurists, who like me were fascinated by the future, my paintings represent a continuing journey into imagining new visual systems and environments.
