Original artwork description:

Portrait of a man

In my paintings I try to capture the true essence of the subject in a abstract/

impressionist way. Most of the work is done using a palette knife balanced later with delicate brush work. The eyes and features are often fractured and just out of reach obscured by chaotic brush and knife rendering. The subjects and back grounds continually evolve and submerge leaving behind unplanned haunting images.

I aim to meet the subject on a subliminal level through study of character.

I don't see the paintings as portraits, but more as a innate look within at the true complexity of mind soul,drive,reason and creativity.
