My current art practice combines a variety of mediums, including photography,
airbrushing, digital color mixing, line art and geometric shape design using
fractal mathematics.
I have many thoughts and views on the function and role of art in society and
will give the short version here.
I believe art can serve as mirror for human thought and potential, and I create
mine with these things in mind....as a possible portal to the never-ending
expansion of human consciousness and capacity. I am thankful every day for
having the chance to breathe life in a human body and use it to my advantage.
It's my hope that I can develop my skills far enough that I might change our
idea of art and design.
I mostly derive my inspiration from music, creative individuals, and the
creative energy that envelops all of us. I focus my energy on creating a strong
sense of atmosphere, possibly something inspiring.
Art can have a special way of moving people's thoughts and emotions, touching
everyone in their own way. I put a great deal of thought and focus into all of
my endeavors.
I believe color practically doesn't exist in itself, only when looked at. Your
eyes are the sole reason my work has life in this world.
Without them, my images would be dead to the world.
When you experience someone's creation (whether listening to music or viewing
someone's artistic vision), something special happens. You become a part of
someone through their thoughts and ideas. Everyone has a different connection
and understanding with the creation...when you experience someone's vision, it
is yours alone. It is an invisible, outwardly incomprehensible communion of
thought between two people.
Not a single person views my work through the same set of eyes. Each one sees
the colors I use in a different light, in a different shade.
Each has a natural method of visual dissection, different relationships and
connections you form through past experiences and memories, and unique ways of
assembling abstract forms into something you can understand. Each of you has
created an understanding of what these images mean to you.
I am devoted to use this connection and understanding to inform, inspire and
facilitate positive change of our world.
