These paintings articulate an abstraction of inner emotions which are developed further through the addition of representational imagery. Photographic sources are used in an experimental way to recreate memories from the past. More importantly, the paintings are rooted in the present, creating a thorough provoking process for the viewers. Once the layout and the subject is prepared, the imagery is projected onto the canvas surface and the process of painting is started. The use of mixed media such as oils, acrylics, tattoo ink and paint marker create a dynamic layered history of painted visual information.
