For over three decades, my artistic practice has evolved from Abstract Expressionism toward hard-edge, non-objective geometric abstraction, drawing inspiration from early to mid-20th century movements such as Constructivism, Suprematism, Concretism, Bauhaus, and De Stijl. Like those avant-garde practices that responded to rapid transformations of their time (industrialization, revolution, shifting ideologies), my work investigates the harmonies and tensions of contemporary life. Using a deliberately limited color palette and precise compositional elements, I explore the balance between order and disruption, where clean lines and bold shapes intersect with carefully chosen colors to create both harmony and dynamic contrast.
The influence of Concretism informs my practice, particularly its focus on the idea that the artwork should stand on its own without reference to anything outside it, yet I try to diverge from pure objectivity by incorporating the rhythms and tensions of what I see in modern life and how I interpret it. Each composition exists in a space between meditation and energy, offering moments of quiet contemplation while reflecting the complex patterns of our daily existence. This approach continues abstraction's historical role as a vehicle for freedom in times of constraint, creating space for individual interpretation and personal connection. My process begins with fundamental geometric elements (boxes, circles, lines, triangles), which I layer and intersect to mirror the interconnected nature of contemporary life, where simplicity and complexity coexist in constant dialogue.
I work almost exclusively with Flashe vinyl emulsion paint, a water-based medium known for its velvety, ultra-matte surface that absorbs light and produces a flatness often mistaken for print rather than paint. This quality reinforces the precision and intention behind each form and color while deepening the tension between decorative clarity and contemplative depth. Through this ongoing exploration of hard-edge, non-objective geometric abstraction, my goal is to create work that speaks to the present moment while connecting to the enduring tradition of non-objective art, offering spaces that are both visually striking and conceptually rich.
