Original artwork description:

High above all else, the purple figure bends down and prays. Below him is a yellow pregnant stomach which also acts as an eardrum inside a much larger purple ear like structure. Connecting the figure to the pregnant stomach is a tin can telephone. Much like listening to a baby inside someone, the tin can is placed against the stomach. Listening for an answer to his prayers, the purple figure presses the other tin can against his ear much like listening to the ocean inside a shell. He waits until he finally hears the baby inside.

About the Work

Each painting is intricately detailed with the intent of capturing the viewers attention regardless if they’re observing from afar or close up. Using a painting technique called automatism allows the plethora of shapes to form in the moment. This adds a level of uniqueness not found otherwise. Additionally I add layers of transparent paint to create a rich and complex color scheme. By combining the two elements, you’ll be presented with a piece of artwork that breathes personality into any environment.

Artist Statement

Using automatic painting techniques, my mind enters a meditative state. As I begin to follow the strings of the subconscious web, the organic forms develop within the painting. One form leads to another, like a trail of thoughts. It’s as if my mind and the paint are in sync with each other. As I explore my own mind, gaining an understanding of myself; I’m also gaining an understanding of the forms.
