About
the Artist
Expression as an artist for me comes through
the medium of mosaics in the form of murals and three-dimensional
sculpture. I carefully cut geometric pieces of glass, ceramic tile
and/or found objects and “puzzle” them together to create
something representational or abstract. Mosaics are like permanent
textured paintings that reflect light and shadows. Most of my work
is designed to be site specific. The challenge for me is to design
in harmony with the natural setting or existing architectural design,
thus reflecting its environment and culture.
I have always been fascinated by the historical
and pre-historical context of humanity in its relationship with
nature and how our world is constantly changing. Using motifs from
nature and our ancient ancestors guides me in my work. The word
“mosaic” of late has become a metaphor to describe the
diversity in which we live. For me, the world is a mosaic made up
of various cultures, conditionings, environment, time, and space,
each having their unique circumstance and yet bonded by the cement
of life itself! |
