About: Inner_about
My recent works embody shifting layers of painted visuals and artistic intentions. As I create, using my imagination and the materials as a guide, I encounter a variety of expressive figures and abstract environments.
Early stages of a work often offer exploratory marks and fleeting gestures that become refined and final, remain untouched and unaltered, or perhaps change drastically, forever buried under new ideas.
Most are feverishly reworked, but some pieces have endured and are included here, among other earlier ones that explore the more traditional approaches to figuration and abstraction.
