I Try To Answer Life’s Big Questions With Surreal Paintings

ADVERTISEMENT

Within the narratives of my paintings I pour in rich feelings of deep personal humility, my experiences with life’s big questions depicted with photo-surrealist imagery staged within a timeless backdrop of sublime nature.

My paintings will be presented in a solo exhibition called “Beasts of Arcadia”. It will be held in Jonathan Levine Gallery, New York, September 12 – October 10, 2015.

Every since I was a young child I have enjoyed creating scenes of new worlds. I’m hooked to the escapism and the cathartic therapy of interpreting your life’s experiences and inner feelings into an artwork. I have many different interests in life and I found that all of them can be incorporated into a life as an artist. Making my art is like researching the world, making observations and predictions, and asking questions back to the universe.

The movement, water, blankets, light, TIGERS! I think I found a new favorite artist. These are beautiful. Please tell me you're selling. Conquest is my favorite by the way! The way the water sprays on the wood and the position of the tiger approaching the top is amazing. Makes you think what will happen when he reaches the top of it. In essence, I love it. :)
