"As an artist, I paint in the Traditional Realist style using the academic approach of the Old Masters of the 15th thru the 19th centuries. My idealistic style is based on sound craftsmanship and techniques of the past combined with my own findings. I strive for an honest, sincere personal statement in the realistic tradition with idealistic values. I produce no gimmicks or fad distortions. As an artist I believe, as did the great masters of the past, that the highest triumph an artist can achieve is the artistic genius of perfect reproduction of the subject represented with a deep passion of poetic feeling and beauty, ideal and superior in quality and craftsmanship.
My art is the negation of life’s disorder and imperfection. It promotes order, clarity, pureness, perfection, and passion. The beauty of my painting is not created to express the real world but to replace it with a better one. My painting is respectful of the great classical tradition from which I learnt fine craftsmanship and wisdom of the Old Masters. My subjects lose the insignificance they have in real life and become delicate objects full of grace, emotion, idiosyncrasy, and spiritual life. My work has no rejection of life, but rather an amorous recreation of what exists; purified of everything that distorts it in reality. My paintings show that everything that exists is elegant, refined, beautiful, and perfect.
My world directs you to a world of physics, fact and feelings. My desire as an artist is to record a vision of beauty and perfection in a less than perfect age..."
