Theory of Forms

My inspirations are the beauty of the human figure and the nuances of expression possible when that form is melded with the abstract. I return again and again to explore this balance – trying to find where realism and pure design meet and merge.

Rather than approaching figurative painting from the basis of narrative content, I begin with only the visual impact of the piece. To me, the figure is so expressive it needs no embellishment – it inherently conveys emotion, with the subtlest variations of pose and gesture always hinting at a story.

The whole story I want to tell is in that single, frozen moment – in the turn of a head, the shape of a hand, a glance. The way I tell the story is to refine my vision to the essential, distilling expression without defining it.
