SEMI-SIMPLE: DOT (point), LINE, SURFACE, COLOR AND LIGHT

I use a combination of UV resistant industrial epoxy resin, graphite and acrylic paint on archival tempered wood panel, or acrylic glass panels. The primary intention for this body is to manipulate the basic elements of dot (point), line, color, surface (plane), form and light to create maximum visual impact. My work is mainly inspired by nature, time, space, color, sound, movement, and composition. Lighting plays an important role in the presentation of my work for it maximizes the viewing experience...

COLOR IS APPROXIMATE :: Please note that the colors of the images posted on this blog may be slightly off compared with the original artwork. I strongly encourage you to see the work in person if possible.
