About The Artwork

"BUDDIES", a mixed media painting, captures the essence of youthful camaraderie as three inseparable boys embark on a timeless adventure under an old bridge. The artwork is constructed with a mix of watercolors, acrylics and textured elements. The central theme revolves around the unbreakable bond these three friends share as they explore the currents of a river. Under the bridge, a secret world comes to life through layers of collage elements and vibrant colors. The boys, rendered as black silhouettes, radiate pure joy and curiosity. The bridge casts muted sunlight and warm, red hues over the scene, enhancing the sense of adventure and unity. Through a meticulous combination of mediums, "BUDDIES" invites viewers to return to a simpler time when friendships were forged in the wild and the world was an endless playground waiting to be explored. This mixed media work not only celebrates the beauty of friendship, but also serves as a poignant reminder of the universal joy found in the bonds formed while exploring the wonders of life.

I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially water colors, was “a large victory” for me . The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. I believe my body of work is characterized by my skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.”My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful possible way to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
