Luminous Emptiness is a series of gestural works that portray the juxtaposition of vivid cultures and physical devastation in unique places that I have visited.

In my paintings, the emptiness in the form relates to the presence (or absence) of these historical places, whereas the luminosity reveals the richness of cultures, art, and people.
