ABSTREALISM
Brightly colored and organic shapes, painting a combination of
abstract and realism.
When viewers watch my paintings they can see at first instance one large image.
After a closer look they will recognize hundreds of small colored organic shapes.
That is very pleasing to my eye.
For me, color on the canvas is the most important element. I play with the pigments
creating contrast in different hues, tones, tints, values, and saturation in multiple
layers of acrylic colors, oils, and the inclusion of thread on the canvas.
I hope that the person experiencing my paintings will feel a delight, similar to that
of listening to music.

If you let your eye stray over a palette of colors,
you experience two things. In the first place
you receive a purely physical effect, namely the
eye itself is enchanted by the beauty and other
qualities of color. You experience satisfaction
and delight, like a gourmet savoring a delicacy.
Or the eye is stimulated as the tongue is
titillated by a spicy dish. But then it grows calm
and cool, like a finger after touching ice. These
are physical sensations, limited in duration.
They are superficial, too, and leave no lasting
impression behind if the soul remains closed.
Just as we feel at the touch of ice a sensation of
cold, forgotten as soon as the finger becomes
warm again, so the physical action of color is
forgotten as soon as the eye turns away. On the
other hand, as the physical coldness of ice,
upon penetrating more deeply, arouses more
complex feelings, and indeed a whole chain of
psychological experiences, so may also the
superficial impression of color develop into an
experience....
And so we come to the second result of looking
at colors: their psychological effect. They
produce a correspondent spiritual vibration,
and it is only as a step towards this spiritual
vibration that the physical impression is of
importance....
Generally speaking, color directly influences
the soul. Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the
hammers, the soul is the piano with many
strings. The artist is the hand that plays,
touching one key or another purposively, to
cause vibrations in the soul.
It is evident therefore that color harmony must
rest ultimately on purposive playing upon the
human soul.
