About The Artwork
The title of this piece seems to be cold; a perspective that only brings joy for a divine being. However, if one looks more closely he/she can see a hint that we are all pieces of the eternal being and that a single lifetime is not all we get. I've used pure "musical motion" to create this drawing along with 2 templates. When imprinting the images I only made back and forth motions like musical frequencies. I created the skull template and chose a circle template that I had. The skull obviously represents all the individual lifetimes and the circle represents eternal connection. The color patterns offer the missing key. I start with 2 primary colors that are on opposite sides of light frequency. They generate a blend that creates purple in the next generation. The missing primary color of yellow also shows up in the next generation and creates 2 new colors of green and orange. From those, 2 more generations of tone gradations occur and a different shade of green (and orange ) appear. Additionally, in the opposite direction, I create the "memory" of colors which are slightly faded version of blue and red and "remembered" in opposite directions. This is enough to infer an on-going process of individual generations of light division, memory of light, creativity with light, etc. and also symbolizes the divide in our sentient consciousness of how memory travels in opposite directions, evolves toward many changes; yet is derived from an inherent core-potential. Like my drawing suggests, our mortal existence is much more complicated with the thousands of years of generations, but has the same presence of motion in our consciousness and our bodies. In this respect we can celebrate that mortality enables us all to contribute and receive the value of experiencing a piece of eternal life that we glimpse from a mortal time limit. This piece arrives in a tube and needs a frame.

I tell people that I paint God’s mistake which I know is controversial whether you are deeply religious or the opposite such as atheist. Yet my work is not about God, religion or atheism. My art is about the trauma associated with the inescapable relationship that mortality has with innocence. Our birth is not the intent of mortality, but it necessarily creates our personal annihilation. This personal destiny leaves each of us vulnerable to condemning our connection with innocent others who “created us to die” without our permission. Our “error” is our ownership of blame for mortality which is not the power over death; it is our power over cruelty. This inescapable destiny is where my art begins its expression(s). MY ART I use the ancient form of 2-D art to represent TIME as broken yet unfinished and continuing. Like the backside of a hung painting, we are absent before our birth and brought into reality through “others” who have marked our canvas of life already. Once born we see ourselves reflected on the "front side" of life yet witness our previous absence. My art examines this division as the relationship between hope and trust relevant to innocence. The change that each of us becomes by birth is a natural expression from life that we can perceive as a tradition of change. My art celebrates this with my rotation of mediums, vivid colors, energetic brush strokes, narratives of time-conflict, emotional dichotomies, vortex compositions showing our inescapable connection to a fractured reality, rhetorical word-play, and weapons symbolizing our relationship with mortal vulnerability. My “signature” is broken mirrors that capture the WITNESS as part of my art reminding us of our entitlement to mortal existence.
