I attempt in my work, both abstract and figurative, to demonstrate a physicality and energy that can transcend the static medium to glimpse the roiling emotions of the subject, be they sensations of guilt, melancholy, aggression etc. Most of my figurative paintings are portraits, in which I use light or fluid effects to see how sophisticated human expressions can be captured. I might, for example, place the sitter in a consciously dramatic environment, such as entrapped in a cage formed by light and shade, or perhaps with his features partially obscured by a semi-opaque liquid that has overtones of bodily fluids and brings out issues of sexuality.
