“Gloria” oil on canvas, 36” x 30”

 

I studied graphic design and worked in this profession for fifteen years. It gave me the opportunity to develop my creative sense, and to stay in the art world. I really enjoyed most of those years working in this industry and learned a lot about design and organization, but I needed more freedom, and wanted to express myself without constraint, creating from my inner spirit.

I had the opportunity to attend Impressionist painting workshops in Canada and in Paris, France. After this journey, I became aware of the deep need to express myself with oil painting.

“L’aube – Dawn” oil and China ink on canvas, 12” x 12”

 

I paint in oils and occasionally incorporate India ink which I apply with a spatula in layered layers. My technique creates vaporous effects where I let abstraction and figuration rub shoulders. I play with the light, the contrast and the dynamism of the colors.
