Artist Statement:
The human form is to me the
most direct way of expressing
emotions and emotions are the
essential force in my work. My
mostly single figure
compositions are life size or
larger; 5 to 9 feet. More and
more I use myself as the
figure in the work, like in
the five painting series
“Death and Decomposition”
where I explore the slow decay
of my own body after death.
I rarely use sketches; I want
to keep my paintings and
drawings immediate. By working
directly on the canvas or
paper without pre-working the
image it stays fresh and I get
to enjoy the process of
discovery and surprises while
I am creating something for
the first time. I attack the
canvas with brushes about two
to four inches wide and the
colors I use erupt from human
substance: meat, blood and
dirt - creating a visceral
image. While working, I let
the paint spill and drip,
creating tracks and layers
that leave the evolution of
the work visible - like the
scars life leaves on our
bodies.
The base of my inspiration
lays in my curiosity of what
it means to be a conscious
human.
