I am always searching, always trying to give through my work, wanting to share with others and finding fascination in the work of other artists. I believe a work of art has beauty and value when the elements of the composition achieve a harmonic unity through the actions of the artist. The struggle of the artist to always go further in this pursuit enriches the work with a spiritual value.
ART IS the beauty of truth
Art is the beauty of truth. When I look at a subject I see truths, for example the truth of the white cloth or the red apple or the shadow beneath the table. I suspect that all the beauty and mystery of life is embodied in the original creation which is also within my little sample where I am looking. The world is made visible by light. Light breaks down into colors. The more I think about it the more mysterious it seems. As a painter I am interested in the study of this mystery. Art is the science of mystery. As we live we are also a part of this mystery. The mystery room is a place with many doors. There are doors to physical science, to metaphysical science, to spiritual disciplines, to your self discovery, to the discovery of others and maybe even a door to the absolute reality or truth. I paint still life with the hope of going far beyond the objects. I am really always painting the rainbow.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. (1Co 13:12)
god bless you

I worship there at beauty's gate,the forms that you have made
But truth was served by beauty's form before the bricks were laid.
