“For the past two decades, I have felt compelled to paint nature and structures, the collision and/or the harmonious coexistence of the two. I love the soft curvilinear lines and ever-changing colors and shapes of nature. I am equally fascinated with the static linear industrial structures as they interrupt, collide, and transform the nature that surrounds them. The corruption of nature caused by industry makes me appreciate the composition created by the two.”
