Painting allegorical figures is a personal exercise which draws on my catholic upbringing as well as other mythologies I relate to. Each composition represents a scene that is suspended from the natural order of time, and should evoke a dreamscape or a precise emotive moment occurring in the viewer’s imagination.
I find inspiration in the artwork of Caravaggio, Edwin Church, William Bouguereau, Roberto Ferri, and many of the contemporary realist painters of today. I paint with the aim of developing artwork that resonates a hyper-realism with an element of mystery that can’t easily be defined.
