Our decision making process speeds up with Computer Age. The way we think changes in response to the tools we use. With Photoshop all of this happens within seconds, while in painting, it could have taken us days, or weeks, waiting for each layer of glaze to dry. I believe that the nature of paint, brush stroke, would never be overvalued by any computer program.

I employ signs, symbols, paint drips, texture, color to speak of a memory carefully layering them in the painting. My work is a collection of pieces that makes up my own visual system. The way I play and mix them depends on my idea and vision of particular project or painting, often it is just my intuition that leads me forward.
