ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This artwork is inspired by the experience of the Dark night of the soul and facing one's own dark side to become a complete individual. The central character is skull-headed, symbolic of physical death and that of the mind (mushin no shin state, Buddhist state of mind embodied by a calm mind devoid of clutter, noise and darkness). His body is portrayed with black and white flesh, symbolic of the symbiosis of dying while being alive. The blood red is reminiscent of the painful experiences the skull-head had to go through to gain proper judgment and harbor discernment. The red characters are all the subjective emotions and ideas that the hero confronts on his heroic journey of enlightenment and eventually, self-realization. Oil color is vital to organically expressing the bloody background and the skull-man, as the charcoal adds to his darkness and ruggedness.

I find the visionary works of classical masters of the Renaissance and Baroque Era as major influences for my artistic style, mannerism, and subject matter. I am constantly fascinated by the use of coded language and symbolism in art and painting to communicate complicated concepts, ideologies, emotions, and mythology (Egyptian, Greco-Roman, Tibetan, Hindu). I believe that the divine speaks to us in metaphors, and as such, find refuge in expressing my understanding and experiences of the divine through symbolism. Although the subject matter of my works does not abide by reality and the laws of physics, my style in rendering is nevertheless grounded in realistic figuration, much like the surrealists and visionary artists of the past. I initiate my artistic endeavors with an instinctive urge to express intricate spiritual subjects with their underlying concepts and emotions according to my perception and understanding of reality, and layer my work with realistic depictions of the protagonists and the surreal mythical atmosphere to render it more comprehensible. I do not restrict my palette to a specific range of colors, as life is limitless, and art is an immaculate reflection of life through an individualized lens. My works are evidences of cathartic experimentation.
