I've always considered myself an oil painter and representational artist. Abstract art happened by accident for me and has intrigued me for the past two years or so. I see my recent works on glass as experiments.

I am always surprised by the final image although I try diligently to control it. The image tells me what it needs and I follow. My mother once told me that she was going to name me franko and this is why I sign these abstract pieces with that name. For what could've been. The T is in honor of my grandmother, Thelma. These works began in her basement. My real influences are Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Lucian Freud. I am however finding useful aspects in various abstract artists as well as graffiti. Only time will tell what will happen next and where I'll go from here.
