As an artist, I feel it is important to express the presence of human being in my paitings. I wish to express not only the reality of today's Man, but also the point beyond mere existance. I like to think of my paintins as documents of visual feelings. I prefer sparse forms reduced to symbols, plain colors, and a texture that expresses the hardship of human experience.

One part of my work comes from a reflective element, the other is passion. My hope is to communicate the simplicity, as well as the complexity of oneself, while at the same time creating beautiful paintings; not in the sense of proportion, style, or eloquence; but energy, power, and satisfaction. In my paintings, I wish to creat a home to one who is in search. My technique often relies on the old master process of layering and galzing.
