Perceptive Thoughts, Art Process

Often, when I decide to start painting, I have a general knowledge of what I want to create—my particular style and artistic choices on a complicated subject. Sometimes I can struggle with how to articulate it in the non-uncomfortable manner that sometimes precedes—an unavoidable process. Needless to say, I get very emotional when I’m on my own. Usually these concepts are heavy but interesting and explore speculations about our world, trying to find justification and comfort in the unexplainable. Brushing the canvas while I think of analytical ways that challenge the idea of religion, the omnipotent paradox of god itself. Archeological studies and scientific discoveries contribute to my curious consciousness of real and undramatized history that influences me beyond a visual idea but instead a whole world with sea-filled opinions that can be included. Ideas of people centuries ago, although vastly different, were simply human and always will feel those same humanizing feelings—and my art contributes to the human core and foundation, being branched out in these different fields that talk about the perceptiveness in realizing these human feelings and conflicts. I go into deep thought when I paint—thinking about everything and nothing at the same time. It’s challenging to describe the feeling; the things we do not know are the most alluring. Then I finish, tweaking the details while leaving room to be broad and interpretive. I love to leave the impression of sentimental vagueness within my paintings and artwork while leaving the clues, and I’d like to say I’ve been pretty successful.
