My paintings refer to the building blocks of nature at its fundamental level; from a micro as well as macro point of view. They involve ideas such as order, chaos, gravity, speed, time and light. Once we understand the lyrical play of the world and its beauty, we collectively as human beings, will want to protect while preserve it. Painting as an art form always addresses ones place in the world and does make us more human. There is an idea in string theory that all matter exist as vibrating string moving in multiple dimensions. This idea links physics to my great love, music. The vibration of the strings creates harmony. Matter is a series of points, not unlike a strand of DNA that links all human beings together in a timeless dance of life. The laws of physics can be compared to the laws of harmony. The universe can be compared to countless vibrating strings. The universe is a symphony of color and light and different time signatures.
