Description

Above is a semi-abstract figurative diptych (two panels) painting done from life and inspired by Greek reliefs. The work is completed in a dynamic combination of oil pastel, graphite, and acrylic paint. The piece is on a stretched canvas, is on two panels, 1.5 inches deep, both wired and ready to hang.

Artist Statement
"...and around his head the fair goddess set thick a golden cloud, and forth from the man made blaze a gleaming fire... there he stood and shouted... and when they heard the brazen voice of the son of Aeacus the hearts of all were dismayed." - Homer, The Iliad

I am influenced by the classical, and I strive to mimic its monumentality, divinity and quiet brutality in my own work. Through paint and line I seek to capture the light of existence, that "gleaming fire", as well as to portray its gravity. I strive to celebrate the figure, its mysterious power and charisma.
