Lately I’ve been dealing with bad fatigue so today I had some energy to iron the linen and wrap it around wood panel to start working on a new piece for the series on the wall. Maybe you remember the first two. I have two more ideas to complete the series.

New small works coming soon, stay tuned! ☁️☁️☁️

Love calm and quiet weekends. 😌

While at the beach, I took this image of sand and weeds because I saw all kinds of different things in there. As photographers, we do that a lot don't we? 😉 #photography #blackandwhite #monochrome #design #abstract #beachsand #interpretation #rorschach

Quiet day in the studio. I’ve been working on some new ideas, testing some mediums, trying to decide which way to create my next pieces. It is always slow process to wait for the patches to dry, to see the trial results.

It's been a while since I came back to check here, I have been busy in my studio creating drawings for the upcoming Art on Paper NY. I will be showing ten new works with Uprise Art gallery in September. Stay tuned! : )

I named this one “Sitting Under the Summer Sun”, dreamy blue, feels like floating in the sky, taking a moment and imagining myself sitting on that chair. Art is for the upcoming show at Uprise Art gallery this autumn. Wax oil pastels on primed linen.

Swiss artist Jean Tinguely was an anarchist. He created incredibly complex kinetic sculptures as an antithesis of the commodification of art, many whose only purpose was to self destruct to the humor and delight of anyone privileged to witness it. Homage to New York, 1960 #JeanTinguely #KineticArt
