Rhythm
STATEMENT by the ARTIST
My approach to art ignores current affairs and social messages to emphasize purity of form, response to light and appeal to the mystical. Socrates has given me an artistic credo, "I will try to speak of the beauty of shapes -and I do not mean the shapes of living figures or their imitation in painting, but I mean straight lines and curves and shapes made by them- they are not beautiful for any particular reason or purpose but are eternally and by their nature beautiful and give pleasure".
Non-objective abstract art allows complete freedom for expression and also for viewing. Any reference to objectivity, no matter how distorted or abstracted, brings preconceived images into association and disturbs the concepts I attempt to project. I do not deny the beauties of nature but believe the camera can capture these qualities. My work goes beyond the camera to figures of imagination, a place where my joy in creating can be shared with your pleasure in viewing.
