photos & digital

It is liberating to have a variety of digital cameras and tools. Some of them are in my pocket most of the time. I am drawn to lines, forms and colors constantly. I draw and paint with my cameras.

oil painting

The visual phenomena, large and small, that I discover in my photos and digital paintings evolve in my oil paintings. Everything gets translated into new manipulations of oil paint, which is for me the ultimate analog medium.
