Paintings

Worlds within worlds, subtle and visibly active…

Kinetic energy is the Life Force. The vigorous energy of my paintings’ worlds within worlds offers an invitation. There are paradoxes in the paintings: orbiting spatial cosmic landscapes, earthly terrains, galaxies, spinning vessels, archway passages and angel trees with hoops as antennas linking to the cosmic symphony. Explosive encounters appear with calming oases, while out of the organic maze shoot starry flashes, black holes, planet heads and swooping curves powering toward a centrality, following the logic and symmetry in a universal paradigm: the circumference is nowhere and the center is everywhere.

The symbols and icons I use meld the abstract with recognizable images: an eclipse face or witness ever-present, appears—sometimes hidden, sometimes emerging. The cosmic landscapes become a visual dance with energies of worlds within worlds, while concentric influences are going toward a nucleus. The stage of play is never linear, but organic: growth, death and rebirth.
