What has concerned
me for quite some time is the complexity of the world we live; how
confusing it can be and how difficult it is to see the heart of
the matter. What I have been striving towards accomplishing, symbolically,
is to hit a nerve and magnify through peeling away layer after layer
of the gossamer veneer that gets in the way of seeing things clearly,
whether it be issues, values, the human heart or the horrific in
nature.
The achievement
of the goal is the reason I choose as one of my projects painting
against the hardness of the metal or the effect of man-made pollution
of our environment, or anything that takes away from what is real,
what is beautiful, what is of the heart.
In my work concerning
the human heart, my objective was to poignantly reveal the heightened
moment where one reaches through emotion, when consciousness is
the most fervent and hopefully lucid, the gamut of feeling from
joy to sorrow as well as that which might travel through contentedness.
What I would
like to achieve is a sense of equilibrium, beauty and peacefulness
: a calm and pleasurable striving that extend and blankets over
time and space so that all of us can find joy and a sense of serenity
in our everyday lives. If anything I would like my work to reflect
this kind of utopian reality in which way can perceive harmony,
dialogue, and groundedness in the contrasting chaos, hostility,
and confusion.
