ABOUT THE ART …
Ten years in development, most of this work originates from an encounter with the islamic geometric tradition displayed in the great monuments of Southern Spain, especially the Alhambra and the great mosque of Cordoba. The sacred fire encoded in these designs inspired me to believe that here was a journey to be had amongst pure line and color, searching out a balance between clarity and complexity, two powerful lenses, adjusted to focus the attention, to feel what you see. For me the question of abstract art should be, not what is it, but what does it actually do.
