The paintings in the Dénia series are inspired by the sights, textures and sensory input of the town by the sea in Eastern Spain where I spent many Summer months as a child and adolescent. The series is based entirely on physical and emotional memory rather than on any actual imagery or physical 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. Layers of washes are also part of the vocabulary of the series.
