Female Figure II Painting

I have always been attracted to the dangers that lie outside an artist’s “comfort zone”. As a person I like melodrama, quietness, simplicity. I tend to paint scenes and figures that want to express something beyond mild emotions or story. During my painting process I try to explore every brush stroke and try to learn what painting, as an art form, is from scratch. I immerse myself in the process of discovering what paint is capable of, how it can reflect textures and the illusions it has the ability to create. When it’s time for me to let down my brushes and look back at the artwork I want the viewers satisfaction to be carried on to me, and the curiosity that created this painting to be carried off to them.
