Just as always, life is strange, bewildering, overwhelming, ever-changing, and sometimes even frightening. Every artist must wander into the desert of their own shadows to uncover what has been lost and attempt to retrieve it through the act of creating art. Hopefully, in doing so, they also find a way out of the divide we, as modern humans, have trapped ourselves in—and offer that path to the spectator. Isn’t that the purpose and beauty of art? The choices we make shape humanity, the Earth, and everything on it. As I pondered these paintings in their final stages, I wondered: they’re slightly different, which is good. Is this a new direction I want to follow? Then again, you never know—some works tend to grow on you, and sometimes, even years later, I find myself thinking: wow, how did I do that? Regardless, there’s no turning back. This is it. Still, light and hope are being born, darkness is being repelled—much needed in these tumultuous times. From The Divide series, numbers III and IV, both measuring 50 x 50 cm. |
