Artist Statement

My art work is inspired by the works of the 16th and 17th century, ranging from the high Renaissance to the Barouque, along with mythology, fantasy, and Surrealism.

I believe that painting and drawing should be figurative and representational, and should demonstrate the artist's technical ability and skill to reproduce an image either from still life, photograph, or drawing.

I create classical style paintings with an airbrush; an unconventional pen-like tool that uses a compressor to spray aline as thin as a hair or as thick as 2 inches.

I am particularly interested in the play between dark and light, (CHAROSCURO), a technique I try to implement in all my paintings along with trompe-l'oel.

By using a non-traditional medium I am able to depict traditional style paintings, merging the past with the present.
