| bio: |
I
am fascinated by the way in which the geometric shapes
of the bridges’ steel girders frame the landscape
of the city, and I admire the subject of bridges and their
engineering – how little we celebrate the wonderful
achievements of engineering and design in our city bridges.
I create paintings of the bridges from unusual points of
view, giving them a dramatic perspective, which renders
them both realistic and abstract at the same time. |

the importance of art: |
Historically,
all down the ages, art in its many forms has been the
pure embodiment of the great spiritual core of all
that made any society or culture great. What remains
of the art of the past is the way by which we truly
know the past. Similarly the art of our time is not
only the way by which the future shall know, judge,
and value us, but it is the way by which we may know
our selves.
