The paintings I create using monochromatic colors can be described as landscapes of a spiritual journey. In this series of paintings, nature and its forms are shaped by introspection. In doing so, I often make use of the emotional heritage of the Romantic tradition. It is a search of form that refuses to surrender; a form shaped in pursuit of the true self and authentic aspirations. In my latest works, organic forms such as animals and plants expand the imagery.
