It began with my recognition that two-thirds of my life has unfolded within big cities, and I wanted to explore the emotional undercurrents of urban living that we all experience but rarely articulate. The city became my subject, but not its architecture or streets, rather the psychological landscapes it creates within us. 

Executed primarily alla prima, these paintings capture the immediacy of urban experience through direct engagement with the canvas. The wet-on-wet technique mirrors how our emotional states shift as rapidly as the city's pulse. 

The 'City State of Mind' name captures the space the city occupies in our consciousness, the emotional states it generates, and honestly, my own fascination with translating the invisible feelings of urban life into bold color relationships that speak so loudly that cover the city's noise. Each painting becomes a psychological map of urban consciousness, where abstract color and gesture articulate what words cannot express.
