Statement:

The Marriage of Insight are the newest body of works, images, paintings or preferably “planes of existence”, which seek to allude to the passage of time or changes. and in such passing of time the exploration of inspiration and expectations. The new images demonstrate an exhaustion of the materials and their handling.
Previous paintings or feelings centered on the overindulgence and the excessive use in amounts of non-traditional materials. Surface were at times burned with caustic devotion until they mimicked the effects of ethereal dimensions. Their uses have run their coarse and this group of 12, traditional materials are layered and overlayered and force an invisible juxtaposition of the new and old to coexist as disjointed and yet seamless presence and feelings.
In this newest series the motif of collage is exaggerated and reworked over and over again to be the focus but rendered painterly as the expression and impression of feelings and insight.
