Extravagant marks of somber and brilliant colors reach across my canvas, capturing motion. Push and pull tones imitate the moving terrain of contemplation and imagination. In my abstractions, landscapes, and portraits, I symbolize the aspects and stories of the soul. I render images of division and unity, between intellect and passion. I also find that sometimes my work can be incomprehensible or “unknowable,” yet familiar, as life’s biggest questions and hurts only have ineffable answers. Through expressive drawing and painting, I dwell on the visceral and supernatural, and our mortal connection to it.
This piece is the feeling of beginning to find the unlikely beauty in going through sadness. After a long emotionless stint, sometimes sadness can be the beautiful blue opening door into finding yourself again.
