Painting and drawing are the visual language by which I communicate thoughts and emotions. It is through these visual metaphors that the inevitable boundaries of verbal communication are broken. Lines and shapes play the roles of words and are completely free of rules and predictability. And through the esoteric communication of music, I am able to place myself into a trance-like state, which plays a very important role during my creative process. The result is unprompted, dynamic, and expressive work that, despite variations of its themes, carries elements of urban environment by which I am surrounded. By using fast-drying, liquid-based mediums, such as household latex paint as well as spray paint, I am able to virtually give up control and use impetuous hand movement, while working intuitively..
