About this series:

Visual narratives derived from memories of growing up in the projects of Sheesphead Bay, NY late 70s and 80s. The works feel as if they are a collaboration of marks in the same way telephone booths and trains became filled with graffiti and stickers. Eroded pictures on top of images, song lyrics and quotes, graffiti and advertisement stickers - “The words of the prophet’s are written on the subway walls and tenement halls”.

Each painting with a particular mantra ranging from “love” to “prosperity. I pay homage to post-war American art and neo-expressionists. Icons from the world’s religions and philosophies, pictures torn from art and fashion magazines and references to lyrics from my favorite bands find their way on my canvas. Affirmation is also found in mantras, spells and the lyrics of popular music and I can close my eyes in the studio, listening to a favorite track and see the energy of the city in my mind’s eye and that pushes me to paint what I feel and to roughly organize the narrative of the painting to fit a particular theme.
