Welcome To My Canvas
As a connoisseur of history, I look at the different movements, changes, and conflicts that have shaped our modern world. Through this perspective, I create magical realistic paintings using my brush to animate landscapes that manifest questions about how we got here. Looking at the past to create modern works attesting to the journey. The journey of being. The journey of beauty. Importantly, I look to ask questions through my work. What is beauty? Where did it come from? What social norms are in place that need challenging for us to see the truth? All viewership is to have experiences when viewing art. My art is no exception. It looks to create a layered approach where one disassociates from reality and enters the world in which I create. In turn, this oftentimes will make you feel a little lonelier about your place in the world. A discomfort that pushes for change. By picking themes that are relevant to me, I look to bridge the river between artist and viewer. This includes picking memorable moments from my life. The great thing about becoming older is not only the library of experience and knowledge I have attained but also the importance that I can share all the other ages I have been.
To conclude, my work is meant to culminate in a visual ecstasy for the viewer. It is meant to be representational of my own thoughts, interests, perspectives and memories while looking for connections between past and present. I am conscientious and intentional of the elements of design I implement. Creativity requires copious amounts of courage. Bearing my personal self for the world to see on a canvas can be intimidating but I want to be vulnerable in order to continue to live a fulfilling life. Art speaks where words can no longer explain. This is my purpose. This is my endeavor. This is what I am. This is what I am meant to do.
