I try to be as minimal as possible. I believe if you can express yourself in the minimalist way, it can say just as much as an overdone painting. Less is more. As far as composing the piece goes, I try to express my emotions, and I think about causes of the emotions, and that leads to the outcome of the piece. The style of neoplasticism is my favorite. I listen to a lot of John Frusciante (former guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers). He is my main inspiration, I always listen to him when I paint. I plan on continuing painting for the rest of my life.
