Artist Statement:
Inspired by photographs, I
paint portraits of myself,
close friends, and a variety
of foods in which I consume on
a daily basis. These elements
are convenient for me to
access, but I feel that what
is closest to you can define
who you are. There is a sense
of isolation felt within each
piece, which helps to showcase
the subject in it’s purest
form, without any
distractions. To help further
enforce a strong presence, I
choose to work larger than
life and include a vast array
of detail. It is very
important that the image is
able to speak for itself, all
alone.
My initial intention is to
document the subject matter,
but my abilities as a realist
painter are a crucial element
within the overall experience
of my work as well. The photo
process allows me to set the
proper lighting and placement,
but instead of simply copying
the photographic itself, I
strive to locate elements of
the subject that may have been
flattened by the camera and
extenuate the overall depth of
the form. The ability to
paint from a photograph and
somehow enrich the visual
experience of the image is the
challenge I live for. ...
