ABOUT SELLER

Caress the detail, the divine detail My art is continuously inspired by the beauty of detail surrounding us. We consume our world as an overload of photographic imagery, yet hardly pause to appreciate the divine within the commonplace. ​Painting in the highly detailed style of Photorealism affords me the opportunity to explore the intricate relationships between light, shade, color, tone and space. In today's virtual world of fleeting imageries, I allow myself the luxury of pausing to admire, to reflect and to undertake a journey into the infinitesimal. For my paintings, I prefer the richness of oils; while in my drawings I gravitate to the stark beauty that graphite and charcoal can access – especially in human faces. In my self-taught journey of artistic exploration, I am naturally drawn to the art and techniques of the Old Flemish Masters. My oil paintings are built using multiple layers of monochromatic underpainting as the foundation for super-thin glazed color layers
