Pathways Series
Pathways, are allegorical abstract landscapes, inspired by a fusion of different series and the stories behind them. A journey of experiences, reflecting both personal and worldly aspects that encompass our lives.
Based on the concept of how we navigate through life, Pathways explores the trails we carve through deliberate decisions or serendipitous encounters. How they intermix, and sometimes blend, creating connections, while at times, missing each other just passing by.
The impact, the mark, the subtlety, the dependance… All conveyed through a delicate balance of spontaneous and deliberate brushstrokes.

Finalist for the 36th year of the Faber Birren National Color Award Show. Juror: Michele Wijegoonaratna, PhD., Modern & Contemporary Art Department Research Associate, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY.
"My goal as juror of the Faber Birren Color Award Show was to asses each art work in terms of how well an artist was able to understand the fundamental difference between complementary and analogous colors and was aware of how to manage stark juxtaposition of color or, alternatively, acknowledge their harmonious dialogue" "I was humbled by the quality of the submissions and honored to have been asked to judge the faber Birren Color Award Show". ~Michele Wijegoonaratna
