Hope Amidst Chaos- Abstract Expressionism


I created this painting with the Abstract Expressionism techniques in mind, similar to the work of Jackson Pollock. This work of art stands out from those paintings in that it contains a very specific subject hidden within the seemingly chaotic pattern of color. I have to admit that it was quite fun working in this style, especially because it is a departure from my clean and cautious style.

I have familiarized myself with the science of perception, which explains what happens when we see objects and our brain interprets the image. I have placed these random-looking splatters of paint in a specific order to give the viewer a visual experience unlike any other.

When you squint your eyes, or when you see this image from a distance you the colors seem to come together to form the portrait of someone famous. Some people have no trouble seeing the illusion at first glance, but others might have a little more dificulty deciphering the illusion. Show this painting to your friends and see how fast they can distinguish who the subject is.

My Number One Fan

Here is my baby boy, mesmerized by the painting I created with him in mind. I like to think that he is my #1 fan, especially since I am his biggest fan; second only to his mommy of course. I want to continue creating art that he likes. It might just be that he is attracted to the bright colors, but many of my collectors are attracted to the colors anyway :)

The Balance Becomes Real

When I create art, it is born out of experience; personal experience, witnessed moments or stories heard. All of them colliding into a two-dimensional expression of emotion. It drives me to share a message with others, but sometimes those messages make their progression through their life-cycle and return to me. They return to me in the shape of a lesson re-learned, a thought reconsidered. Here I am at a moment in my life, where maintaining a balance between my personal life and my career become even more important. Not just for the benefits of feeling in control, but because they are codependent. My career depends of my life experience and my life is fueled by my art.



If it were easy I would not even consider it; it is this challenge that might keep me busy the rest of my life, while I grow my career, enjoy my family and express my gratitude to God for letting me learn the lesson early enough. My wish for you is that you are constantly reminded that this "Fragile Balance" must be maintained to truly enjoy and recognize success. Click here to read more.
