                                                                          Color, Movement & Stillness

My work explores the relationship between movement and stillness, representation and abstraction. Through painting, xylography, and sculpture, I use color, line, texture, and gesture to explore the shifting boundaries between form and perception.

What art collectors are saying about my work: 

  • "Your painting is one of my most favorite treasures in the world. The colors move as I gaze upon it. Your use of color is genius."

  • "I love the way you play with proportion and density. I am drawn to the purity of and unconventional use of color. There is so much movement and music in your work. The intentional emotive content is arresting. It is profoundly meditative." 

  • "... A good friend who is also a visual artist, came to visit and just stood transfixed before the painting all evening. We even moved furniture around so he could see it during dinner."

  • "... I look at your art every day and it makes every day better to see it."

  • "Ballet Dancer with Bird illuminates my life daily. I looked at that painting online for months, trying to decide whether or not to take the plunge. Actually, I remember seeing this painting when it first appeared in Vadim's catalogue of works. Some years ago, if I remember correctly. The image (and colors) remained with me...and now...I view it and live with it daily. Thank you."
