ABOUT THE ARTIST

Painting for me is a raw and cathartic expression of my inner self. It is also an expression of the human condition. I see myself almost as a conduit for expressing raw and passionate emotions, without a filter. I think this is why people respond to my work, because they recognize these emotions from my art, in themselves. I have personally used art to heal and work through some rough periods in my life, and I like to say that my art (and life) is a process of transitioning from "darkness into light".

ARTWORK STORY

This piece is contrasted not only by the acrylic and oil mediums, but also by the bold structures against the negative space. The color palette is mature and deep. The streaking, brick-like colors have almost a comic book style quality to them and the unique surface texture makes the colors pop even more out at the viewer. These bold, brick-like structures also continue onto the edges of this canvas to frame the piece as well as add an additional three dimensional design quality.
