To find balance between abstraction and realism: to find balance in myself. This collection consists of oil paintings with a mix of Impressionism and realistic elements in order to create the essence of a collage. Impressionist landscapes based on photos from my travels intended to create a feeling of the place in time, and to form a new memory of that place through painting. Transformed originals from timeless artists with new realistic elements meant to appreciate the past and foster new beginnings. More paintings in progress.
