Thank you so much

Thank you so much to everyone who has shown support. I truly appreciate it.

To those who reacted strongly to my latest series and rushed to compare it to Pollock, it made me pause and reflect. It reminded me of how artists like Janet Sobel, Mark Tobey, Norman Lewis, and others must have felt when their work was overlooked, overshadowed by publicity and the constant search for a single “hero.” That pattern is worth questioning.

It also brought to my mind the quiet hint Norman Rockwell left us in The Connoisseur — a reminder that abstraction can be beautiful, meaningful, and worthy of serious consideration. That’s how I’ve always seen it.

These reflections are what inspire me. Not imitation. Not mythology. I don’t get fooled easily. I’m a fighter, and I stand by my work.

I currently have over 250 paintings from this series, and I look forward to sharing them with you. If there is an influence I openly admire, it is Josef Albers and his fearless experimentation with color relationships. Exploring color comes naturally to me and is an essential part of this much-discussed series.

So be it. Fortunately for me, I’ve never fully accepted what I was told I should believe. I prefer to discover things on my own. I always have.
