portraits and figures
| Painting people has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Discovering a person through paint is a powerful experience - what is revealed can sometimes be surprising. While structure and likeness factor into a painting I am much more interested in intuitively searching for the essence of the subject. Rather than steering the course of a painting through technical skill I prefer to allow myself to be lead by the paint. The result is a sort of co-creative process between the paint, the model, and me. |
