Figurative

Figurative

Every day we are bombarded with negative images and ideas. The grit and grime are lauded because of their reality and truth. But if there is no light without darkness, then there is no darkness without light. Positive and optimistic images should be highlighted as much as their antitheses. And as corny as it sounds, I try to capture the best of what can be. If it’s possible to strip down what we think, feel or are to their essence, that’s what I’d like to portray without the trappings or connotations of reality in these figurative paintings. They could be all people, applied to all people and hopefully interpreted by all people as something true to them and them alone. They are what you want them to be. In that vein, I try not to impose my own vision too heavily on the viewer.
