“I paint with images and memories from my mind. I express things as they appear to me. My paintings are an extract of action, energy and motion. I paint oils with the palette knife, a style I like because it is challenging. I like painting wet as it allows me to create motion in my paintings. Most of my compositions are a creation of imagination, memories and places I have traveled."
