This is a collective journey through moods and phases that have elevated and digressed. It is all around a continuous momentum of thoughts, the balance that allows the mind to thrive and sway. Ascended from moods, and where time is of the essence, all the while my mind wrapped around surreal dreams of what my heart spoke, looked, listened, and felt… guided by the absence of fear.

“The process starts with a photograph, often a portrait that I have taken or have stumbled upon. Then they are painted using digital manipulation in Photoshop to meticulously add textures, layers, and render colors, and shapes.”

Open at the heart, these portraits are raw and feel caught in between expressions. They are meant to viewed in vulnerable states of human emotions, before recognizing them as lonely, angry, happy, or isolated, they are frozen in a private investigation of self, perhaps even secretive and never intended to be seen by others. For that reason we are unable to label them until we share a felt experience with them.
