Artist Statement:
My paintings are my voice.
Each brush stroke is a silent
word. Each color, tint and
shade stems from a complex
spectrum of feelings, ideas,
sensations and stories that I
hope will have resonance in
the imagination and soul of
the viewer.
I choose to express questions,
motifs and beliefs through
figurative painting, because I
believe it to be the most
concrete, clear and
impressionable form of
artistic expression. Most of
the subjects I portray are
decisively naked, and this is
because I believe that the
nude figure, without the
protection of clothing, is the
greatest way to reveal the
deepest truths of what resides
within the human soul.
The majority of my work
explores a range that consists
of traditional religious dogma
and prejudice at one end, and
the instinctive and emotive
nature of human sexuality on
the other. Though these two
subjects are traditionally
contrasted as being poles
apart, I aim to demystify the
prejudices and preconceptions
which divide them, and
instead, seek to bridge them
through a contemporary
interpretation that is
rational, thoughtful and
honest, as well as spiritual
and sacred; This
interpretation is never
intended to be controversial
or offensive, but rather,
conciliatory and revealing.
