My drawings are an outgrowth of my subconscious. They are automatic, abstract, calligraphic mark-making. My drawing style has always been linear in nature and energetic, the latter being a general expression of my personality. I have been influenced by such artists as Mark Tobey and Jackson Pollock. Additionally, mark-making has been quite important to me in reference to the calligraphic writings from the middle and far eastern countries.

I want my drawings to represent a universal visual language that can be experienced and interpreted according to one’s mood. By using language as a visual element, one finds themself trying to decode the meaning to understand the drawing, creating a kind of dialog, leading them through the entire picture plane with no end and no beginning.

In addition to these aesthetic elements, I search for an intimate and personal expression that not only is a depiction of myself, but also of the viewer. Through a systematic order of visual and conceptual exploration, I indicate perpetual uncertainty. By using this structure as a metaphor, it forces the viewer to be embodied by the visual impact of the work. My drawings simply connect through an emotional, mental, and physical arrangement of intuitive lines created through automatic writing.
