"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures." Henry Ward Beecher 1813 My creations are the reflection of a delicate and precarious balance between traditional and modern, orthodoxy and new technologies. Mostly based on illustrative and time-based techniques, it is the result of a whirl of different methods that converge in the attempt to represent rhythm and timing. My work is trying to capture and embed life in an elapsed fraction of time into a representation that baulks at the confinement of the stationary nature of the canvas .
