Original artwork description:

With the curtains closed, the procedure begins. Fully reclined, the yellow figure pries its mouth open. Standing over him a purple figure places a long instrument inside the yellow figures body to attract mosquito like insects within the body. Afterwards the instrument is placed in the bowl containing water which removes the insects. Once removed, the insects are placed on the outside of an organism while the water is poured inside it. The experiment is to see if the insects function differently outside the body verses inside the body.

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.

Materials used:

Oil on canvas
