Artist’s Statement
My poetic abstractions are an ongoing “Dialogue with Nature”, a spiritual connection inspired by the profound wisdom of Henry David Thoreau. In each stroke of my brush, every color on my canvas, I seek to capture not only the external beauty of the natural world but also the intimate conversations that transpire within it. Much like Thoreau’s reverence for the inner and outer landscapes, my art embodies the intricacies of nature’s rhythms, the whispers of the wind, and the profound silences that speak to the soul.
My creations are reflection of my personal journey, an invitation for others to embark on their own, and a testament to the enduring dialogue between humanity and the environment.
