I started the series ‘exhale’ at the beginning of fall 2021. When summer looses its radiance, the colors become more subdued and nature starts to retreat, also the soul longs for introspection and tranquility. This body of works has been going on and will continue to grow…

Mainly on paper this series is characterized by blue, green and gray hues. They are gentle pieces that radiate calm and serenity with their depth and transparency.

Although often only one color is used (usually a Payne’s gray) overlays of simple shapes create depth and complexity. The variety of shapes, shades, and texture add visual interest to the pieces. The voluntary restriction led to a deepened engagement and results in an unexpected diversity.
