Ephemeral Series

My "Ephemeral" series explore the transient nature of existence, capturing the fleeting moments that define my journey through life. Abstraction gives me the tools to interplay colors and forms, and embodies the essence of impermanence and the continuous cycle of creation and deconstruction. It is perhaps my most mature work, exploring the transient nature of my own existence. As I confront my mortality and limitations, my art becomes more intimate and reflective. The world I was born into has transformed, as have I and my painting over 40 years of uninterrupted practice. My process today is calm, contemplative, and deeply personal. I delve into the forgotten corners and memories that now make sense in a fast-paced world that seldom invites reflection. I pause as an act of rebellion, meditating as I create in the long hours of the studio. When I bring to life the unimaginable, I am overcome with a rush of emotion. As my brush strokes the canvas, I create structures that defy reality, giving form to visions that exist only in my mind. This surreal process fills me with a profound sense of wonder and liberation. It's as if I'm unlocking a hidden universe where the impossible becomes possible, allowing me to explore the depths of my imagination. Each new image is a journey into an uncharted world that exists solely within my art, and this journey is both exhilarating and deeply fulfilling. I chose colors deliberately to evoke the spectrum of my own experience to reflect those moments of introspection and calm. The juxtaposition of these colors creates a visual narrative that mirrors the ebb and flow of my emotional existence.
