I am an artist that is primarily concerned with what I call the “autobiographical” image, this is defined as the ability to tap into those images and symbols that make up one's own understanding of the visual world and thus integrating them into the self expressive force that is art. I am interested in the process that leads an artist from the logical creation of an abstract subject to the subjects he will use in future paintings. For me, art is made up of the thoughtful exploration of the visual symbols that make up the outer and inner worlds. It is the relationship between inner and outer visual symbols that drives the artist.
