Portraits
The idea of painting people came out of frustration and love.
Oil on Wood
I paint people that I have worked with, played with, and lived with. Each person is given a full canvas where the background and foreground make up a whole portrait. I like to paint, as I call it, in pre-equatorial style: in other words without perspective. The work is more about the person than how light reflects on them as an outside element or on how they stand on a round planet. The events of today also contribute to my reasons for painting people; the value of life never seems to keep up with the value of technology and business. I look at the one and it looks back and asks for time, patience and respect.
