Artist Statement
While using the theatre as a metaphor for life, I contemplate the way that an artist attempts to stop time, and preserve moments in visual
images. Brief glimpses captured, develop a story of their own and live on.
The Tournament of Magic is a collection showcasing my recent works. These weave a way into an imaginary land, where the subjects appear as performers on a stage.
The paintings are inspired by legends of my ancestors, congruent with recent events.One can also see a strong influence from my years working as a scenic artist in the theatre, and with Cirque Du Soliel.
Layers of antique papers, and acrylic paints, form richly textured pieces on stretched canvases. The complexity of the surfaces symbolize the multi facets of the human experience.
Created with many layers on heavy duty canvas.
