These paintings are pure abstracts and each individual will see their own vision. For me however, this painting evokes the feeling of the light at the close of the day in the early evening when the sun has set but the light still remains. Saya means close of the day in Arabic

My textural abstract work comes from an accumulation of years of exploring texture and color relationships. Each piece is comprised of layers of oil paint, using no medium, and left to dry prior to the application of the next layer. These paintings are reflective of the many layers we all possess within the totality of being human. Each event, each tragedy, each joy leaves a mark. This has been a theme throughout all of my various styles of artistic expression. But I find the palette knife/squeegee work to be the most honest in its seemingly random happening that results in a beautiful tapestry of color, form, and shape.
