“My paintings have been and continue to be influenced by Willem de Kooning, Nathan Olivera and the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Lately I have been looking at Rembrandt and Monet, more in terms of surface technique and less in terms of subject matter. I have come to believe in a kind of alchemy whereby a thought can be transformed from being a mere idea into a complex image. The rendering transforms into something so sophisticated technically that it defies explanation and confounds its own mode of execution. This inexplicable result is what I am always working towards.”
