dissolve (detail) by Alexandra Becker-Black. In the same way that poetry
. distills layers of emotion
. and meaning in a few lines,
. I developed a passion for
. condensing my fascination
. for the visual world into a few
. intensely meaningful marks.
. By simplifying the figure, using
. as little information as possible,
. and discarding excessive detail,
. what remained were the
. essential shapes depicting
truth in the form of abstraction.

Wow, your pictures deeply have touched my heart. The artworks looks grand, yet the visual stories sound sad. Therefore I dont know have I the right to applaud, but I enjoy your pictures greatly. Your works are the magnificient. Thank you.
