As an artist, my work represents an esoteric, creative expression in terms of nonverbal, abstract communication. I intend to make use of certain aspects of abstract expressionism to convey my feelings through painting. These aspects represent personal thoughts and symbols. In so doing, I intend to bring a number of conceptual and visual stimuli together simultaneously. A primary concern is to take abstract expressionism to a new technical and conceptual level by using back-lighting as a principal element. In essence, this new element allows me to intensify the attention of the viewer.
