MISSION STATEMENT

           My artistic horizons were defined from the start of my vocation. I knew from very early on that I did not want to be an artist whose paintings are used only to adorn or fill empty, tedious or unsophisticated space. Through painting, I have been able to find myself and communicate in spiritual form with others.

           Terencio's phrase, “I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me" expresses my basic existential preoccupation. In a world of constant convulsions, I have a human commitment to document what I see and feel. This puts no subject matter off limits to me. Pain, loneliness, anger, injustice & hope have often motivated me to face a blank canvass. My spirit reacts, twists, reflects, and finishes doing the essential: expressing itself with vigor onto the canvas.

           I have a commitment to humanity from which arises the subject of all my paintings. I map out for the casual and often unsuspecting observer a spiritual awakening or transcendence that might normally be overlooked or go unnoticed. As an artist it is my intention is to provoke. I watch closely for the viewer’s reflection, surprise, question and ultimately understanding.
