ARTIST STATEMENT
I paint to communicate to others how I see – not what I see. The natural and persistent need to communicate, to relate, to understand and be understood by others is what draws me to paint the figure. My expressive figurations are the allegorical road map of my inner dialogue with real and invented subjects.
Sociology asks “How” and Philosophy asks “Why” regarding the human condition, my interest in both fields of study makes for many multifaceted questions:
• How and why does the group affect the individual?
• How and why does the individual (my subject) affect me?
• Is there such a thing as an individual, or is this idea of singularity simply a western conceptual construction?
• Is the championed concept of autonomy responsible for the persistence of isolation, or is the sensation of being alone in the crowd an indivisible component of the human experience?
