What interests me as an artist are the differences in how people interpret retinal images based on their individual culture, experience and memories and the resulting vast diversity of perception of space and color through the sense of sight. Perspective and light are eternal themes in painting. I take these as the basis to create a space where “perceived vision” and “unfiltered vision” coincide by deconstructing and reconstructing the hierarchy of composition and color on the canvas based on perspective and light.
