Part of the calming effect of the paintings is found within the ground of his compositions, soothing pastels that have been worked intensively enough to avoid the dullness that ordinarily accompanies fields of this sort. Quite the contrary, he makes the colors deeply approachable. The technique is original – a combination of dry pigment powder, animal glue as a binder, and either finely milled seashell or white clay to lighten the values. His work involves layering the color, scratching away at it while wet, adding and reducing down again until it reaches a highly finished state.
Once the ground compositions are finished, in themselves abstract paintings, he gradually adds his figures and symbols. Ultimately the artist is a sort of symbolist, no detail is without a personal meaning. At the same time, the symbols are employed more for a display of relationships, and a reflection of the world as he sees it, rather than carrying some specific conceptual content per piece.
The dream of being an artist started early for him, and didn’t let go. The first chance to apply for higher education, his parents refused to let him pursue art. A year later, his grades had begun to slide (he was losing interest after being denied the chance to pursue his interest). It was his last chance to get into art school. His parents relented, and allowed him to apply.
