After Dancing Faun

I am a sculptor and painter. I am interested in the beauty of the human figure, both male and female, with my inspiration coming from Hellenistic sculpture, Michelangelo, and Rodin.

 

Human beings are a manifestation of a thinking and feeling universe. The human body has evolved over millennia to be a perfect expression of a compassionate universe. Transformed through the medium of paint, I want to express this power of universal life force to ceaselessly create and evolve, to transform and change life and its environment.

 

I paint in a neo pointillist style where I use small brushmarks to build up the image. I see each dot as a jewel sparkling with life. Each mark is like a full stop and a comma, an exclamation mark, and a question mark. All around each mark are others that sparkle like gems in their interrelations. The marks express the beauty and purity of colours. While unchanging in themselves, they appear to behave so differently next to different colours, more beautifully expressing their intrinsic qualities. They are the simplest and purest expression of colour as it is, like musical notes.
