Acrylic on Crystal Clear Diamond Glass and Hahnemühle Fine Art Giclée archival paper
It starts with a moment in time—this elusive instant unrecognizable, unstaged, and, in most cases, discarded as mistakes, never to see the light of day again.
After years of saving these moments and holding them hostage to my meaning, I have realised this is a limitation. As the idea develops, does it live up to or surpass the promises of the spark that originally was caught in that moment in time?
In the search of finding beauty in an analog moment caught on expired analog film, processed with light as the medium, capturing color through various methods, within digitization, an experimental state of the original moment reaches enough light to have a close balance with abstraction. Back to analog in Hahnemühle Fine Art Giclée archival paper mounted on Crystal Clear Diamond Glass and then finally capturing a new moment within a new layers of various paint applied.
The final artwork is a mixed media abstract colorscape incubated by Existentialism. There is something in this from a moment on the medium to a new.

“Going beyond conventional subject matter, luring spectators into a world where color and light arouse feelings and viewpoints that are unique to them, embracing the distinct emotions contained within, and providing a distinctive viewpoint on the basic awareness of color and light—a veritable internal spectacle of seemingly endless dream realms. Your interaction with the art conveys the essential idea of awareness, reflecting a visual language of the unconscious. Every piece of art aims to portray visceral emotions as a visual representation of internalized consciousness to elicit from its viewers a contemplation of the complexities of existence.”
