As a conceptual and abstract artist I am fascinated by the relationship people have with their own selves. My focus is studying myself to get a better understanding of who I am spiritually and the energy I put out when I am consumed by strong emotions. I explore my spiritual self more than the physical one and I communicate my emotions through the simple meaning of colors. I use colors in a way that can be understood by anyone, for example I use red for anger, passion, I use purple for melancholy, calmness and so on. The main character to most of my art is often the color purple and that is because I use purple as a representation of myself. I have always had a connection with purple and I see it as the color of my aura and energy. All my work is a reflection of myself and the different stages and situations I go through in life. I use the power of colors and their meaning to speak emotions. My work is mostly abstract using acrylics and ink however when it is not – my art reflects my dreams, visions and sometimes I use it as a method of manifestations. When I create my “vision cards”, as I call them, I use pens on paper. I like to think of my physical body as a third person trying to communicate and develop the images from my spirit on paper and canvas.
