Über mich und meine Kunst

My work is visceral and spontaneous. It´s about passion and expressing my faith to Jesus Christ. When I paint, I rely entirely on my instincts, using my hands to work the paint around the surface, I have always experimented when painting, so I sponge, splash, pour, drip, and even remove paint.   I work abstractly because I enjoy the pure creative expression, to create without the chatter of the mind, relying solely on intuitive senses. The proper environment and right atmosphere allows me to get into the creative zone and unfold a journey with art. In this sense, I prefer to paint to music that moves my soul and connects with how I feel at the time of creation. Although my work is abstract, it contains definite symbolism. Symbol is the language of the soul. Color, line, shape, and texture are my parts of speech.
