Yes, I have noticed use of 'transcendent' terms in titles of your work: soul, senses, trance. What do they symbolize?


For instance, 'Synaesthesia' is the name of one of my paintings, it means "joined sensation" (Greek, syn = together + aisthesis = perception). It refers to an involuntary physical experience in which the stimulation of one sense modality reliably causes an additional perception in a different sense or senses. A smell will create a sound inside of your mind, light will create color, sound will create heat and so on. Artists sometimes use the word "synaesthesia" to describe their deliberate multisensory joinings. Neuroscience is particularly curious because of what synaesthesia might tell us about consciousness, the nature of reality, and the relationship between reason and emotion. This is how the painting will get named almost like a lightning strike from nowhere. The name will come from whatever will first come to mind, whatever memories, whatever thoughts, my mind will create a sound pattern from the visual affect of the painting.

Also they are brimming with vibrant colours and light-effects. Could you please explain function of light in your work.


I am so intrigued with light, I believe the definition of light to be a bit broader, everything in this world is a wave, is it possible everything in our existing world is light and we are part of a hologram called the universe?. In the future matter might be considered as structured light. My prediction is that the art of the future would most likely be projections, holograms and perhaps a direct view of the imagination projected as a clear link from brain to machine. A monochrome light dot-pixel detected by the eye sensors is capable of bringing to the mind a lot more information than simply its color, size and positioning. Our minds are simply not yet capable of translating all the information that light can carry. We are living in a primitive 3rd dimensional world. I hope that my art can bring attention to the power of light by drawing in viewers to its beauty as they witness the rhythm of light as another dimension. My art took a twist one day in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in a cheesy little cafeteria. On the counter stood a little dish, it was a hologram of a penny on a plate as I passed my fingers over the penny to grab it nothing was there, yet it looked completely solid. My interest in light started at this moment. I saw that art objects could be created using the same technique. The past four years I have been studying these phenomena, researching the technology and developing my own which resonates throughout my art and can be seen in Light Morph Theater.
