This is an abstract painting inspired by the contemporary world. I love using bright, saturated and luminous colors: reds, yellows, blues, aqua and orange. At the same time, I try to keep my palette and use of colors subtle by varying their use through abstract shapes and forms employed in the work. I usually start the painting with recognizable, often figurative underpainting, and as i work in layers, with each new layer the paintings grow increasingly complex, layered and more abstract. I often think of my artwork as research into how art relates to science, music and language. This particular artwork was also in large part inspired by travels in the Caribbean. The painting can be stretched on request.
