FIGURE PAINTING
The human body is incredible, from the inner mechanisms to its biology, physiology and appearance. No single human being is identical to another, and with billions of people populating the globe, every human being can be seen as an original creation, a unique work of art. Painting the human body never ceases to amaze me - the plethora of different positions that one can morph their body into is endless. Capturing the human form is not an easy feat, but once you become familiar with the structure of the human body, painting the figure can become an intimate and rewarding experience. I like to have the model pose for me real life, but I am able to work from photographs at a later stage in the artwork. I enjoy working in pencil, charcoals, pastels and paints, and I feel that each medium helps to contribute to each piece of artwork aquiring its own unique style. I also create semi-representational works inspired by figures, where the initial appearance of the painting appears to be abstract, but upon close look, figures pop out of the canvas at you. I like to "hide" figures in these works, so that once you examine the painting in more depth, the bodies will jump out at you like small surprises. I hope that with each viewing of the work, one can discover a different hidden layer, meaning or image within it, something new about it to appreciate.
