Artist Statement:

Having all but abandoned my paintbrush and all its traditional pigments, I find myself dazzled in a pixel world. The result of an epiphany, and the outcome of something so negative, a “pixilated” image becomes a stunning fascination. Color synergy and color composition create a vibrancy to stimulate all five senses. Simply attracted to color, the actual image remains a fantasy. The magnetism of the colors draws in the observer without he or she recognizing my hidden explicit image behind each print in its physical size. Most of my images are inspired by pornography by highlighting the chemistry of colors with abstract design. These color pixel images are appreciated for their color composition, and with a little inspiration, imagination, and creativity, one can discover the hidden sexual perversion. What is your sex color?
