Artist Statement:
Being a figurative artist, my
work over the past 20 years
has encompassed a variety of
mediums, i.e.: printmaking,
mixed media sculptures, small
upto mural-sized oil
paintings, acrylic/bas-relief
paintings, ink or graphite
drawings, and constructions
with various objects; all the
while maintaining a strong
focus on a singular theme -
Exploration of the "Human
Condition".
The works dare to ask, in
sometimes simple or
complicated terms, the
question of what this "Human
Conditiion" is. And via the
works already completed in
various genres and media, the
viewer is compelled to search
within or externally for the
answers of such queries.
The genesis, or the root of
the works, often stem from a
point of inquiry that I wish
to convey tangibly for the
viewer so that they may, if
driven to, pose a dialogue
within themselves in the
offshoot towards their own
personal advancement.
Being that life can gravitate
in the direction of complicacy
and varietal issues, so does
the body of works that I have
produced over the past 2
decades employing various
mediums.
The delving into the different
media has not only kept it
fresh for me as an artist, but
also serves to point...
