My focus on nature began first with landscape painting. I became proficient with that course but wanted to delve deeper into the intricate working of nature. At this point, I began to paint abstract images of landscapes made up of fine lines and twisted forms that looked like a mix of hieroglyphs, physiological ink blobs and DNA diagrams. I was trying to paint nature on an internal psychic and molecular level. At the same time, I wanted to leave open the interpretation to the audience,as Mauricio Lasansky said to me quote, “Leave it up to the critics to decide “and “that’s their job.”
