What does color sound like? What rhythm emerges when geometric forms are layered like instruments in an orchestra?
These questions drive my digital paintings. While traditional mediums dominate gallery walls, I have deliberately chosen to work digitally—precisely because the medium demands a discipline often misunderstood in abstract practice. Digital painting requires intentional, architectural creation: a systematic building of layers where color theory and form theory converge, much like composing music.
My practice challenges the accepted notion that abstract art emerges through spontaneous gesture—the idea that emotional authenticity requires capturing a momentary impulse between artist and canvas. Instead, I treat the digital space as a compositional field. Each element functions as a voice within an ensemble. I build methodically: positioning forms, testing color relationships, studying how each layer advances or recedes against another, listening to the visual "sounds" created through their interaction. It is a disciplined, intentional work.
Yet within this structured practice lies genuine discovery. As layers accumulate and interact, unexpected harmonies emerge. Colors delight in their relationships. Forms develop dialogues with one another. The digital medium's capacity for real-time iteration allows me to move, adjust, and listen to these conversations as they unfold—a fluid conversation between predetermined vision and material contingency. Spontaneity and serendipity arise not as breaks from intention, but as emergent properties of the layering process itself.
The resulting works are visual compositions that resist reduction to single meanings. They ask for sustained attention and they reward close looking. They allow viewers to engage not just optically but temporally—to move through the work as one might move through a musical piece, experiencing how each formal and chromatic decision builds toward a larger resonance.

In 2021 during the Pandemic I found myself in a new place with new inspirations. I pulled together a compilation of years of work leading up to this moment, each with its own story, as part of my trajectory. I wrote “Selected Works". It was an opportunity to revisit all the past works from a reflection perspective, reliving some of the moments of discovery, analysis, interpretation and synthesis. It is a reminder that I really need to make a new book showing the continuation of the path I follow.
