Artist Statement:
In writing an ‘Artist
Statement’, one can’t help but
get entangled in the
definition. Can there be a
single statement so profound
as to describe the artist as a
being? Can the essence of
artistic creation as a whole
survive the battering of
verbal translation?
Self-awareness requires the
ability to imagine and dream.
More so to a person engaged in
a process of artistic
creation. To articulate in
words a visual aesthetic
experience is to script the
dream and border the reach of
the image. No longer would the
forms exist as a living thing,
nor would colours convey the
complexities of which they
speak. With that in mind, my
task shifts to the motives and
forces urging me to paint. Art
brings me closer to the
original man. It frees the
unknowable from the face of
the canvas, and provides me a
search for the Adam within. It
is in that search that I find
my artistic calling.
