Ginger Painting

I am intrigued by the human figure. The face and its features are what I find most compelling about a person, along with their personality and body language. Every human being has a different anatomical facial structure. Thus everyone is unique and appealing in his or her own way- I try to visually achieve this in my paintings. I capture their unique distinction in my oil paintings by the eyes creating the conversation. I am interested in both representing the essence of a person through portraiture, but am also equally intrigued in investigating the physical nature of paint through stylistic exploration. I am able to use drip and splatter to blend the paints in a visually appealing way. As a part of my paintings, sometimes something can go as unintended such as a drip, splatter, color choice, or drastic brush movement. Rather than trying to fix this ‘accident’, I keep it. It becomes an integral part of the process as an artist. To deal with error, I choose to let it happen and work with it. The unpredictable, as with life, is more adventurous and stimulating.
