From the artist: If you start looking, you would be surprised how many windows you find lying by the side of the road. I am an abstract artist, working primarily with reclaimed house windows as my canvas. My journey into art began relatively late, in 2018, after years of practicing law. The pivot to art came unexpectedly, inspired by a simple experiment with an antique window that had long sat untouched in my kitchen. Recycled windows have become my primary medium, offering a unique canvas for the bold colors and geometric patterns that characterize my work. I am continually fascinated by the interplay between matte and glossy surfaces, exploring both the reverse and foreground of the glass to create layered, semi-representational compositions.
Many pieces begin with an architectural inspiration, whether it's the entire structure of a building or a single, defining design element. From there, I use a variety of mediums—acrylic paints, raw gesso, translucent and matte layers, and metallic leaf—to push the traditional boundaries of my work. I am inspired by the geometry of the world around us. The angles, lines, and shapes that define our built environment—whether it’s a city skyline or a single architectural detail—serve as starting points for my abstract compositions. I often abstract these elements, stripping them down to their basic forms and reimagining them in a new light. Color plays a pivotal role in this process. The palette I use is intentionally bold and saturated, creating a visual contrast that engages the viewer, encouraging them to linger on each detail and discover new layers.
