I strive to render the invisible visible

"The Source of Being" is an abstract exploration of the origin and interconnectedness of existence. This painting is one of the pivotal works that mark my intense period of inquiry into the nature of consciousness and the cosmos.

The artwork presents a radiant central orb, pulsating with an intense light, from which concentric rings of vibrant colors emanate, symbolizing the ever-expanding waves of existence. Each hue vibrates with its frequency, harmoniously blending into the next, a metaphor for the continuum of life and the spectrum of experiences that form the human condition.

"The Source of Being" is representative of my artistic practice, which seeks to visualize the intangible and provide form to the formless. This painting embodies my dedication to probing the depths of existence through the medium of art, an endless journey into the heart of being.

Space of the Color Spectrum, 1991, acrylic/canvas 120 x 150 cm

The Spectrum of Color is symbolizing the vast range of Human Emotions

In the context of my artistic practice, "Space of the Color Spectrum" represents an ongoing quest to capture the invisible energy and rhythm of life. Just as a composer uses notes to create a symphony, I used gradients of colors to compose a visual melody that resonates with the vibrations of life. The painting embodies a kind of visual poetry, where each hue transitions into the next, much like the changing tones of a musical piece, inviting you to a contemplative experience of the spectrum.

The artwork is representative of my broader body of work, which often focuses on the cosmic and universal aspects of existence. The vibrant transition from warm to cool colors mimics the dynamic flow of energy throughout the universe, from the fiery core of stars to the serene depths of the cosmic ocean.

This piece encapsulates the very act of creation, inviting viewers to ponder their own place within the vast continuum of the cosmos. The painting is not just a static image but a living, breathing entity that offers a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of the universe, facilitated by the universal language of color that speaks directly to the soul.

Space Line Dot, 1991, acrylic/canvas 130 x 180 cm

The singularity from which all creation explodes into being

"Space Line Dot" captures a bold geometric expression of universal elements, showcasing my artistic exploration into the fundamental shapes that comprise our perception of reality and the cosmos. Each element in the painting, though simple in form, is loaded with the profundity of what it means to exist.

In the context of my artistic journey, this painting represents an abstraction of the cosmos distilled into its simplest forms: space, line, and dot. The space is rendered through a dynamic background of gradients, embodying the vastness of the universe. The line, a spectrum of colors, symbolizes the trajectory of light and energy, a path that is both temporal and spatial. The solitary dot anchors the composition, representing the singularity from which all creation explodes into being.

This work embodies my penchant for delving into metaphysical themes using a vibrant palette. My work often seeks to express the intangible energies and mysteries of existence, with this piece being no exception. The juxtaposition of the line cutting through the space with a bold assertion, and the quiet presence of the dot, offers a contemplation on the continuity and punctuation of cosmic and human existence.

Angel Blue, 2002, acrylic/canvas 140 x 140 cm

"Angel Blue" composition features a captivating swirl of golden and white hues that arch into the shape of a crescent, set against a deep blue backdrop. This celestial form is reminiscent of an angelic presence, wings unfurled, encircling a moment of divine embrace.

The vivid contrast between the warmth of the golden tones and the coolness of the blue suggests a spiritual encounter between different realms or states of being.

The central white space might symbolize purity and peace, a sanctuary within the dynamic energy of the surrounding colors. The artwork evokes a sense of protection and serenity, inviting contemplation on the transcendent and the eternal.

Flower of Here and Now, 2002, acrylic/canvas 140 x 140 cm

"Flower of Here and Now" bold design features a central radiant point from which symmetrical petals of rich orange and cool blue hues unfurl. The striking contrast of warm and cool colors suggests a harmony of opposites, evoking the balance between energy and tranquility, action and reflection.

The white light at the core can be seen as the essence of being, the present moment that is both a point of convergence and divergence. This vibrant artwork invites you to focus on the 'now,' the center of consciousness.

The flower metaphor speaks to the unfolding of life's rich tapestry, each petal a different journey, yet all connected to the same source.

Way in Way out, 2002, acrylic/canvas 140 x 140 cm

"Way in Way out" captivates with its vibrant, concentric circles of color that ripple outward from a central point. Radiating with bands of red, orange, yellow, and blue, the piece symbolizes an infinite cycle, the eternal dance of entry and departure, of beginning and end.

The outermost rings transition into an expanse of blue, hinting at the depths of the subconscious. The golden hues at the base signify the warmth of a setting sun, grounding the viewer in the physical realm as the eye travels back toward the bright epicenter.

The painting is both a journey inward to the core of existence and an exploration outward to the edges of consciousness, inviting contemplation on the pathways of life and the universe.

A style that distills complex concepts into visual poetry

"Spectral Landscape" is a visualization of a cosmic phenomenon reimagined through an earthly metaphor. This work illustrates my lifelong fascination with the intersection of the natural world and the cosmos, a central theme in my artistic repertoire. At first glance, the piece dazzles with its spectrum of colors cascading across the canvas, reminiscent of a rainbow's arc, but with a unique twist.

The spectral bands cut through the landscape at an angle, suggesting an alternative, otherworldly topography where light itself becomes the terrain. The dark, brooding sky above and the fiery warmth below speak to the duality of existence - the known and the mysterious, the seen and the unseen.

The spectral lines represent the frequencies of light, normally invisible, but here made manifest as visual harmonics that echo the natural world's hidden rhythms. The painting is reflective of my artistic journey, emphasizing a style that distills complex concepts into visual poetry.

The Other Side of the Sun, 1997, acrylic/canvas 110 x 90 cm

This piece radiates with fiery reds and oranges spiraling around a bright central point. Encapsulated within a void of deep blue, the vibrant swirls pulse with life and motion, suggesting the dynamic and ever-changing surface of the sun.

The motif of "sun within the sun" is a profound representation of awakening, a revelation that unfolds from within. This imagery serves as a metaphor for the first glimmer of consciousness after a state of slumber.

It's as though the first rays penetrate the darkness; an inner brilliance outshines the obscurities, hinting at the boundless potential that lies within us all. The awakening here is not just of the mind, but of the soul - a recognition of an inner world as vast and radiant as the sun itself.

Stripe, 1990, acrylic/canvas 90 x 70 cm

The painting "The Stripe" presents a captivating spectacle - a vibration spreading across the canvas, a horizon where the tangible meets the mysterious.

Its horizontal band cuts across the sparkling background, as if dividing realms or introducing a break in the symphony of color. Speckled dots resemble stars scattered across the cosmic plane or playful musical notes in visual form, a dotted rhythm against a background of melody colors.

The underlying layers of this work are a nuanced dance of light and energy that invites you to consider the coexistence of simplicity and complexity. It is a visual feast, a reminder of the diverse textures of existence, containing the dynamics of the constant flow of life.

Three Steps to Infinity, 1993, acrylic/canvas 130 x 120 cm

This is a cosmic journey, inviting you to traverse the depths of existence. The spiraling colors draw the eye deep into the vortex, towards a center that suggests infinite light or perhaps a portal to other dimensions.

Each concentric band of color is a step on this meta-staircase, a passage through different states of consciousness or reality. The use of primary colors juxtaposed with each other releases the primal energy, the vitality at the heart of creation.

The stripes that intersect the image mark the stages of the journey. The work is a visual representation of the expanding universe, revealing secrets that lie just beyond the limits of human perception.
