Through a series of portraits, I embrace self-imposed limitations to immerse myself in the painting process. The characters of my portraits reveal themselves at their own pace. Each portrait begins with a single sculptural source material, and as I work, I transition through a variety of sources, eventually distancing myself from any specific reference, painting freely.
By blending color palettes that are simultaneously contemporary and archaic with familiar ancient imagery, I aim to create a dialogue between the past and present, inviting viewers to contemplate the cyclical nature of time through my own retelling.
Ouroboros
2022
The ouroboros is a serpent consuming its own tail, a figure of perpetual becoming—where destruction and creation exist as one continuous act.
This series of acrylic, oil, and gold leaf paintings, layers images on top of expressive mark-making, exploring duality, transformation, and cyclical motifs.
