Inspired by Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Made with an interest in color theory and a love for color in general.

Aquatic Zen gardens. Rediscovering the childhood joy of exploring low tide microcosms. Motion and geometry inspired by the mathematical order inherent in everything that surrounds us.

“Paramecircle” explores circle packing inspired by the biology of single-celled organisms. Internal structures interact with each other in differing ways, creating a multitude of different “Paramecircles”. 64 color pallets and a monochrome mode provide that visual contrast while the other internal algorithms determine how objects are packed.

'Orthogone' is a succession of main colored rectangles, echoed with white - sometimes black - rectangles. You may guess buildings or squared ricochets, and sense the underlying rhythm.

Mazinaw is about the timeless struggle to express our humanity and communicate the ineffable. The title derives from Mazinaabikinigan-zaaga'igan, an Algonquin word meaning “picture” or “writing”, alluding to the dual nature of pictographs. 

Inspired by my encounters with neolithic cave paintings in Europe and indigenous pictographs flanking Canadian lakes, Mazinaw hints at etchings, drawings, and anthropomorphic forms. While Mazinaw draws on expressionists from Wassily Kandinsky to Norman Lewis, it takes abstraction one step further: each piece is constructed by the artist indirectly, via a generative code, allowing the emergence of new undreamt-of forms.

The 19 palettes are inspired by the natural world, but their roles are sometimes twisted: cerulean blue strokes appear over an ochre canvas, and green flashes of light hop across a gray expanse. I invite the viewer to spend time with each piece, finding their own order from chaos. Signed fine-art archival inkjet prints will be available for owners at a modest cost.

Note: Mazinaw is best viewed in large format (full screen), or printed. Each piece has infinitely fine details, some of which will only be visible in print. Mazinaw renders seamlessly in any aspect ratio; adjust the window size and shape as desired, click on the frame, and type 'f'.
