The Dénia series is inspired by physical and emotional memories of childhood and adolescence in Eastern Spain, and is executed in heavy oil impasto mixed with marble dust and applied with a palette knife to create rough, unique textures. The paintings in my ongoing Dénia series are based on the sights, textures and sensory input of the town in Eastern Spain where I spent many Summer months with my family as a child and adolescent. The series is based entirely on physical and emotional memory rather than actual imagery or mementos. Technically, the initial ideas for the series developed into an abstract, strongly geometric language executed with heavy oil impasto mixed with marble dust and applied with a palette knife to create rough, unique textures. The imprint of early life, our relationship with the past, and the persistence of early impressions are some of the key themes of the series. These paintings are unframed and will be shipped in a box and ready to display.
