About this artwork
made with the FLY - Free the Life within You technique
this artwork is inspired by a journey in the snowy Alps during a snow storm with an RV. the snowy trees in the white woods gave the impression of an extinct tribe, as the driver I felt the unstable slippery roads while my wife documented the way,it was a melange of fear and awe with thoughts about how miniscule we are as human beings, how fragile we are comparing to those naked trees that are… there for thousands of years. the trees might be separate beings but for me they were one living body with the same struggle about the harsh weather.
in the studio I developed the images and was so inspired that I immediately began creating the Alps series I used Gesso, Oil colors, cold Tar, and Acrylics to demonstrate the awe I felt from those trees that were so human to me

My practice is rooted in material investigation, where the artwork becomes a site of layered processes unfolding over time.
At the core of my work is industrial cold tar— carrying geological memory. Tar absorbs light, slows movement, and resists clarity, introducing friction into the visual field. When combined with oil, gesso, and pigment, it generates a continuous negotiation between opacity and luminosity, between what is buried and what is revealed.
These dense, absorptive surfaces function as active fields—capable of retaining, resisting, and transforming the materials brought into contact with them. Each work evolves through sequences of action and reaction, of revealing and concealing. The surface becomes an archive of gestures, material events, and temporal shifts.
Central to my work is the notion of layering as a structural condition. Each painting develops through successive strata of material interactions: absorption, oxidation, sedimentation, and reactivation.
