I have been actively creative since my early childhood. As far back as I can remember, I have constructed worlds of my own, dabbling at many forms of expression; Collage, Diorama, Drawing, Spray Painting, etc.
It wasn’t until the age of 22, I decided to pick up a paintbrush and with limited formal training, I began creating portraits in which I described as the “Post Modern Film Noir” style. Some of my pieces included, desperate people in dark places and drawings inspired by classic films. My compositions received acclaim in small circuits throughout New York City, but my heart was in film. So, I decided to sell all of my designs and moved to Hollywood, California where I worked in various art departments. I have worked on everything from Independent to mainstream films. At the time, my talents were focused on other peoples’ projects and this left me feeling uninspired and empty inside. For several years, I stopped painting altogether. Fast-Forward to the present. I am living in New York again and have reclaimed my love for art. I paint, purely as a form of expression. It offers me the window of freedom to reflect on my life and the world around me. Working with mediums such as Collage, Digital and Fine art, I have found a balance that satisfies my need to be constructive. I have seen my projects take on a life of their own. The opposition of detail and control inspires me to forge attitudes that others can experience. I sketch the base feeling that I see in the subject and filter it to a place where my vision is a distilled truth of that raw emotion. Furthermore, what I truly relish is the observer’s reaction to my finished product. Knowing that they absorb the natural sentiment I have evoked, this is extremely rewarding to me. I invite everyone to enter my world as a passionate observer of humanity and the world that encompasses him or her. Verified Credits (0)Worked with christopherpriority?
