Resistant to outside influence, revealing truly independent ideas, defying any attempt at classification,the aesthetic character of form and objects can be easily analyzed. It is a great deal more difficult to understand my conception of color. The color harmony is based on the whims of the imagination, a desire to translate freely the delight of what I see in a language whose strength lies in its very simplicity. In recognizing that painting is "Spiritual" it is believed that the most intellectual and probably the most difficult element in "Art" to master, is to be able to use color as the vehicle for the expression of spiritual ideas.

This work shines with particular brilliance because it stands apart from all schools. In revolt against established theories I use technical skills to achieve a production in which originality is unceasingly reaffirmed. Using color boldly and violently in order to express the idealized conception of the world of imagination; depicting a place of the happiest intensity. The revolutionary technique is tempered by a fearless sense of color and an uncanny feeling for balance attempting to produce a synthesis of form, always severe, but in which grace is never neglected. Thus demonstrating the creative "Art" spirit.
