category: Painting
technique: Oilpainting
Style: Representational
Statement:
In my work I try to convey the emotional response that the elements, the land, and the sea conger in me. I am particularly attracted to the open sea and the prairies with their vast horizons and rapidly changing characters.
I enjoy experimenting with the effects of distance and wish to provoke in the viewer primeval memories conducive to a meditative state.
For this reason my paintings have a dream-like quality which is reinforced by my subtle palette.
Ultimately it is my intention to free the soul from the ego through contemplation of our insignificance in the face of nature, the force of the wind, the grandness of the waves, the vastness of the land. My paintings are a journey to the soul of the earth.
My boat paintings are about the Age of Sail.
Each Ship had a name, each Ship had a certain character, as if each was a living thing, “lucky or unlucky, kind or killer”; remembering the times when man had to surpass himself and fight the elements, those epic journeys and man’s coexistence with the brute force of nature.
