About the art
Artist statement
My painting Supreme, 2021 is built upon the covenants of Kazimir Malevich's Suprematist art movement which he invented in 1917.

My painting goes beyond Malevich's rules to include more biomorphic shapes fused upon each other to create a more centralized figure. This painting also explores the use of colors which would never be used by the proponents of the original movement.
Again my goal is to create a fusion using components of previous art movements attempting to fashion new interpretations and hybrids.
