Current Abstract Art Project:
Original Multiples

This series of abstract paintings explores what differentiates an original work of art from a reproduction. Integrating graphics and fine art, each painting is first designed online with Adobe InDesign. A small prototype is then translated onto canvas, providing the basis for a limited edition set of paintings on canvas. Systems in place ensure consistency and accuracy in each hand-painted reproduction. This series challenges conventional notions of uniqueness. Between the digital image, the prototype and the limited editions, it’s questionable which version is truly the original.

Reductive compositions are comprised of painstakingly formulated colors and carefully positioned geometric and linear forms. Light is used as a transformative force, to influence perception and define space. The paintings in “Original Multiples” ― with their uncertainty of depth, dimension and perspective ― are designed to invite contemplation and interpretation of symbolic resonance and shifting visual hierarchies.

Current Abstract Art Project:
Perspective and Perception

These paintings, expanding upon the “Spontaneous Deliberation” series (see below), introduce a new tension that hovers between abstraction and representation. Dimension and perspective are intentionally ambiguous, as are titles for newer works. This creates space for multiple interpretations. 

Abstract Art Project:
Spontaneous Deliberation; Three Sets of Works on Paper in Red, Green and Blue

When I began this series, I had no clear vision of what I wanted to create—only a desire to move things along. Specific parameters —such as consistent size, surface, and a simplified palette — were established to both guide and expedite the process. What emerged was a deliberate shift from my earlier abstract work toward an intentional interplay between structure and spontaneity.

Certain gestural brushstrokes, alternately layered with geometric framing, have become part of my visual vocabulary. Embracing the graphic quality of these works — with a growing interest in the concept of reproduction — I created six sets each of paintings in red, green and blue (referencing the RGB color model) to reinforce the association.
