My Style reflects My mood - My mood reflects My subject - My subject is always My peo-ple.
As an artist, I intuitively seek to build and adopt new themes. I search for ways to express magic and loss, and how the human soul rejoices and mends in order to deal with both and restore balance. To do this I create distant, undiscovered spaces so that the spectator is free to explore and make that space his or her own. I also enjoy creating hot, passionate images that mirror the inner places of the viewer, a place that allows him or her to imagine a desired reality rather than the skin and threads he/she are garnished with.
My work regularly explores the duality intrinsic to life: good or evil, light over dark, Heaven and Earth, men and women. What I like to do is blur those divisions, challenging the viewer to examine the boundaries and rules of his or her life.
Above all, I want that viewer to ask "deep" questions: What, for
exambple, might a person not tied to a traditional gender role offer and recieve from a society obsessed with gender? How do people really view their lives? What are the things that make a person truly happy or sad? Are people trapped in outward appearances? Only through asking these questions can we embrace our reality.
In my art and my life, there are several things that I do habitually: I love to observe life and reflect on it. I embrace optimisme. I explore what is personal and important in a situation. I am not afraid of facing fear and learning from it. I truly believe that the "known" in our day to day lives is neither the beginning nor the end; the unknown can be our friend, as well--and it is that "unknown" that I love to explore passionately in my art.
Complex human nature - simple desires : Observe life and reflect : EMBRACE OPTIMISM : Explore what is personal in a situation : Explore what is important in a situation : EMBRACE FEAR : The “KNOWN” is neither the beginning, NOR the end : Dedication to a body of work : The INNER CHILD is the INNER FORCE : Always Passionate, sometimes red hot
