Upon a sequence of color procedures
complementing each other, he processes
and enriches the mysterious essence
of nature, which carries the possibilities
of transcendentalism in an abstract
analysis. From one painting to the other
he explores the dimensions of the visual
dynamism. He likes to stroll at the
border where paint transforms into color,
and emphasizes the fact that the form
of painting is open to eternal possibilities.
