“As a child, I enjoyed the simplistic yet dynamic figures of comic books. Later the genius of Michelangelo cemented my passion for the human form and showed me its great potential. I also love motion: the exhilaration of flowing along a winding highway in a car; the vicarious thrill of seeing birds in flight, or the beautiful gestures of great athletes and dancers. Whenever I look at a beautiful nude, whether a model, a photo, or a fabulous painting by Michelangelo, I envision the shapes of the figure flowing outward from it into space creating new forms.”
“In college, I became a fan of the dynamic gestures of Abstract Expressionism. And, being fascinated with the idea of synthesis, I decided to combine this with the human figure. Both are deeply involved with the kinesthetic sense.”
