Rhythms Within
Feelings can evoke a wide range of responses and emotions. These reactions can create rhythmic sounds and voices which inspire my creativity and dictate the forms and colours I use and even the brush strokes. Every colour has a sound and sounds have both motion and motionless shapes. It is from these impressions, that I create artworks.
My paintings are interpretations of those inner poetic rhythms from the soul, brought about by the feelings and visions of that moment.
Although Colours have universal meaning, I try to interpret the colours according to the feelings of that moment guided by the spiritual being in me.

Synesthesia (disambiguation)
A person experiencing synesthesia may associate certain letters and numbers with certain colors. Most synesthetes see characters just as others do (in whichever color actually displayed) but they may simultaneously perceive colors as associated with or evoked by each one. Synesthesia (American English) synaesthesia (British English) is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People with synesthesia may experience colors when listening to music, see shapes when smelling certain scents, or perceive tastes when looking at words. People who report a lifelong history of such experiences are known as synesthetes. Awareness of synesthetic perceptions varies from person to person with the perception of synesthesia differing based on an individual's unique life experiences and the specific type of synesthesia that they have.
