Bitter Self-Avowal Of Concentric Joy

Artists are perpetual nomads, giving decor to the contemporary sociological novel.
Each perception of space is an appropriation of unresolved tension, persistent in the notion of art as subjective spiritual conquest.
Meaning does not materialize in the paint, but in the mind of the spectator by way of the consequence between various elements of visual discourse. A [...]

Alibi 4 Overindulgence

When life is at its most exalted, the dream is furthest from hand.
Art should not be divine inspiration. Nor a yearning for the hereafter, the eternal, the sublime. It’s never a way to truth, wisdom, immortality or a reason for living.
Characterized by the overproduction of images, the necessity of importance of art in society, has [...]

Virgin Having Child

The synthesis of form and color is purposefully kept, establishing a valid integration of vision.
A fuller orchestration of purer themes – unifying technical solidity with the conspicuously exotic.
The essence of countless transformations, retaining a mobile yet timeless gesture of meditation – an evocative reminiscence of worship.

Concurrently, I would be working on elaborate figurative subjects: half-dream, half-reality, where [...]

It’s Never What You Expect

An unexpected visit, results in an unintended painting, that now sits drying next to the sofa. So it’s down to a planned idea or capturing the activities of existence along one’s trajectory. Freewill or predestination? – and where the hell did I put her number?

Passion was her Dog

Midwinter seasonal depression can be alleviated with increased light exposure.
This is Alice, she wears these light floral skirts year round – much appreciated. I met her here while looking for Passion.
So, now that it’s seasonably disagreeable, thought I’d return and reestablish my circadian rhythm.

A Girl Walked Her Dog

A winter scene can yield many comforting sights which trigger pleasant memories from seasons past.
