Although my works all loosely fall into the genre of portraiture, they are more than mere likenesses. They have been created as much from my imagination as from life.
What immediately attracts attention is their sheer color. My palette is obviously not a natural one. It is bold and bright, and at times playfully lurid. But I would not call myself a “colorist”, my approach is too graphical. If anything, I am a “mark-maker” and my mark of choice is the line. With just a few deft contours I manage to capture my models' external features before moving on to heavier, more impulsive strokes to evoke their mental and emotional characteristics.
