abstract expressionism
I
am a self-taught painter
creating unique abstract
expressionism. I originally
studied Graphic Design at Parsons School
of Design in New York and the Detroit
Institute of Art. While in school I realized I
didn’t want to create “art” designed to sell
a product, I prefer creating things that are
true to me and unique in my eye. I decided
to drop out and pursue a computer science
degree while still continuing to paint on the
side for myself.
I paint in the abstract format because there
is no plan or rules. Abstract paintings, for
me, take on a life of their own. I tend to
start a piece with a broad idea based on
an emotion or an element in nature and
then allow my brush to take me where the
painting needs to be. I rely heavily on the
emotion of the painting and love creating the
individual characteristics in each work of art
that create each piece’s unique concept. I
use brushes and a palette knife to give each
painting texture and depth while maintaining
a minimalistic feel. I see and feel what is
true for me when I am painting and looking
at a finished product. The most I can hope
for is another person to have their own
connection with one of my works of art.
