Abstract

Representing the human form is a natural outgrowth of the theme itself. This representation has been both through the use of recognizable human figures and through emotional response to abstract human qualities. The thesis paintings do not necessarily depict life forms in a recognizable or a representational manner. Intuitive choice of colors and forms, lines and textures inherently expresses, in a non-representative fashion, qualities and forms of life.
