Landscape is generally defined as the boundaries that mark the limits of an area seen from a single viewpoint. My paintings present different viewpoints or planes of reality to express landscape as a fluid and continuous process undergoing change. The boundaries between time and space merge in abstract form. My latest series of paintings explores the experience of landscape as “inscapes” which refers to an expression to be experienced. The engagement with this process became an exploration of seeing inward to express what one cannot see physically with the eyes. It is a boundary less quest of perception beyond the tangible that opens infinite possibilities.
