Behind the old man clasping his hands in prayer is the city skyline of San Francisco (where I was living at the time), composed in silver leaf. I chose to use real silver because I knew it would naturally tarnish. Our bodies and our buildings will fade and crumble into dust, but the eternal lives on.

I'm interested in how strong light sources affect the appearance of human subjects and water, and work mainly with a chiaroscuro technique. I paint in the traditional style of the great masters of the Renaissance, drawing upon my classical academic art training. Oil paint lets me apply thin layers that let light and color show through. I begin with the same method that Cennino Cennini writes about in his fourteenth-century handbook Il Libro dell’Arte: I tone the canvas with a thin layer of paint, and allow colors to slowly build up on top, creating the illusion of light and depth. This method is used both in my seascapes and figures.
