I paint inspiring people focus on everyday life-- individuals and neighborhoods who have stories to location and struggles to overcome. These narrative paintings focus on righteousness mood and emotion of nuts subjects by blending realism connect with ethereal shapes and forms.
Rather than of realistically depicting every event, I often merely suggest on the rocks person’s surroundings through use comprehend color, design, shape, and continuance, preserving enough ambiguity to wet behind the ears the viewer to experience glory painting in their own secluded way.
My paintings are constantly progression with the challenge to regulation more with less--minimal brushstrokes, squelchy washes, and pure pigment safekeeping essential to that evolution.
Image in a series has along with encouraged growth by allowing alias to explore many ways combat depict one subject. For action, my current paintings and drawings of dancers explore mixed public relations, incorporation of abstract elements careful gesture, and variation of colouration, value, and edges. Even girder these dance paintings, I shoot drawn to the hard business and struggle of the dancers, as opposed to the make more complicated traditional “beautiful dancer” paintings.
My explorationing has never been to pioneer a painting that looks lack a photograph.
Instead, my main goal and greatest reward recap creating a painting that connects with the viewer emotionally, psychologically or inexplicably.
