Artwork is a way of understanding the world around
me and to visually communicate some of the qualities that can not be verbally
articulated. It is a vehicle of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual
discovery; one of investigation and learning. My work reflects an intimate
journey, with its struggles and growth. It tries to understand our past,
our common roots that connect us to each other. It is centered on the
present moment and yet it hopes to project the viewer into the future;
and with its dance of light and colors, it attempts to open up a glimpse
into eternity. I have always been fascinated by light, with its symbolism
and its ability to transform and penetrate even the darkest corners and
deepest abysses.
Art is one of the ways I can serve. I hope to be
a craftsman and technician, a servant to the work, willing to listen to
the silence,
and to be open to discoveries and new possibilities....
I know my work is weakest when I try to own it, and refuse to relinquish
my control. It is strongest when I participate as servant, empty enough
to listen, and to dialogue.... with faith enough to let the work evolve.
It is a wondrous journey for me; a journey of light,
love and discoveries. It is a journey of faith that constantly rediscovers
that even in the darkest moments there is always a light…and one
is never alone.
