Artist's Statement |
|
|
My art is a
spiritual space for me. It is the physical and aesthetic by-product
of my personal search for inner freedom, inspiration, and personal
identity. The images I create almost always feel to me like
dream-visions, and I view them in a quasi-Freudian fashion, as often
surreal and non-linear symbols of the emotions and perceptions I
experience in the waking world. Quite often, I also see my works as
my children, my friends, my comrades. So many of my pieces center on
the humanoid face that it seems natural for me to think of my
individual works as living characters who whisper to me through
their frozen, two-dimensional windows, inviting me to the
hyperkinetic world that lies beyond and in which they live and
breathe. In many cases, it is even possible for me to see individual
pieces as “photographs” of the emotional landscapes I felt within
myself while creating them, as moments captured from the grip of
time, to which I and every other person might visit at leisure for
as long as our imagination allows. |
