Description

This intriguing artwork blends classical portraiture with modern graffiti, creating a striking juxtaposition. The focal point is the lower half of a face adorned with a ruffled collar, reminiscent of Renaissance portraiture, reflecting elegance and historical depth. The classical style is interrupted by bold graffiti elements—a splash of vibrant pink cutting across the canvas and dynamic scribbles in the background. These contemporary elements challenge traditional norms, adding a rebellious urban flair. The artwork's texture is enhanced by the overlay of spray paint, infusing the piece with energy and movement. This fusion of the old and new invites viewers to explore the dialogue between history and modernity, tradition and innovation, capturing the tension and harmony in an ever-evolving cultural landscape.

Artist Statement

In the way that a poet would seek to understand language with the goal of approaching the sublime, I have tried to understand painting with  similar purpose. The ability to move beyond the literal towards a truth. The tools of a painter are akin to that of a poet, words and their placement, language and its rhythm. I am painting poems, images that dance between realism and abstraction, text and flesh, with the hope that the viewer experiences rather than views.
