My recent work explores the concept of industrialization and the environments that co-exist and prosper from it. I try to bring some understanding to the nature of our self-indulgence on our surroundings. Redemption is the theme with which I approach each painting. Sadness, hope, despair, frustration and happiness are represented in each piece on different levels. I want the work to reveal a sense of optimism that life will prevail under all the destruction.
I am strongly influenced by urban agglomerations. I paint with rough materials including oil, tar, acrylic, metals, acids and oxidizing agents which in themselves make a statement. The images reveal a paradox between the elements I use and the end product. I use resin to further enhance the contradiction between the painting and its message.
