Artist's Statement
My recent paintings 'SOUNDINGS' , emphasise the essential colour-moment modulations, along with the rhythms and sequences of the sea.
I feel that these painted vibrations can be perceived either as frozen or sustained colour chords or cadences, or movements of scales and harmonic progressions of colour
