My art has always been about evolving from the unknown towards a concrete work of art by applying the awareness that derives from the action of painting itself. It’s a style that I’ve been using and rediscovering for over 20 years. Around 2012, I started meditating under the teachings of Shambhala lineage and decided to align my art with the flow of meditation and the flow of the creative process it fosters.
For a long time, I have used Prismacolor markers and micron pens with underlays of watercolor using bright colors and patterns intricately woven together to indicate the ups and downs of life. More recently, I have shifted to acrylic painting as my medium of choice, overcoming my long-held fear of painting. Thanks to meditation – and how it has changed my outlook on life – I have been able to see things as they are and appreciate myself more. I couldn't contain this self-discovery and decided to express and share it through my art. Skulls and meditating figures serve to imply a sense of impermanence. They are suggestive of how we all can transform ourselves into another level of awareness and self-appreciation.
the courage, strength, and depth of generous beauty are just a few of articulable ways we love about your work and what it inspires in us. stay cool brother. hope to see you at the art crawl.
I’d like to invite you to be part of an art fair (outdoors). Please reach out. We met at Art in the Hollow.
