Abstract paintings created using unconventional approaches without limits or boundaries. Each day unveils a multitude of present-day concepts that serve as my inspiration to create contemporary abstract paintings. The music created by internationally known music composers Jared and Andrew DePolo, serve as another form of inspiration. I see the color, form and depth of their orchestral compositions then transform them into visual compositions through paint on canvas. The goal is to create artwork that encourages viewers to search beyond the obvious and visualize concepts that are unnoticed or unintentionally buried. Creating abstract paintings invigorates me. For now, I feel it’s the only form of visual art where I can truly bring my unique point of view to life. Enjoy!
