Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 42.1 W x 48 H x 2.4 D in
I like painting writers, poets, artists, philosophers, musicians: great individuals that have left a mark on history. Those who have marked me. I translate their psyches and oeuvres with emboldened strokes and dazzling splashes. My portraits are tributes that dangerously flirt with aggression. The spectator is taken aback by a powerful presence, nailed to the spot by an aura that cannot be ignored. The eye, with its piercing gaze and monstrous reality, seizes and captivates viewers, troubling, tantalizing and suspending them between a sense of verisimilitude and disfigurement. After all, the face is a map. More than just a pair of eyes, nose and lips, it carries with it the creases of a life lived with secret passages into painful and glorious pasts, long lost longings, words unspoken and desires aborted, mistakes forgotten, forgiven and dreams forsaken.
