| 关于此艺术家 | |
I believe that humanities major talent is making symbols. We have been this way since the beginnings of our existence as a race. It is the reason we have a written language, music, painting, sculpture, dance, mathematics, the sciences and our entire civilization. This is the cornerstone of what it is to be a thinking human being. My painting, mixed media and digital works are his explorations into the creative spirit. The visual arts, music, dance, literature, myths, mysticism, spirituality and the sciences as well as everyday life all contribute in the creation of my images. Good paintings and drawings present subjects that engage the heart and soul on levels that words cannot. This is what visual artists do best, we create unique visual languages, languages that can convey layers of emotion and meaning at a glance through color, shape, form and line. This layering of imagery, sometimes opposite in emotion, engages the viewer to look deeper into their own souls to find the depths to each piece that are may not be initially apparent. Because of this layering many viewers see images in my paintings that were not consciously created, as if some mystical force was leading my hand during the creation of a work adding even more depth to the imagery. For me drawing and painting is about creating a space where both the creator and the viewers creative thoughts are set free to explore unexpected paths. |

| An unusual jazz/opera concert done is a visual equivalent of a fractured fairytale including elements of cubism and cartooning. |

Ressurection of the Magi
2006 |
)
|
| This painting deals with the ressurection of an ancient religion. However, the twist is that the priest have become priestesses. The Wise Men, become Wise Women. The truth is when I started this painting I was unsure of the meaning behind the original sketch, but then I found a note with the sketch referencing "The Atlas of Mysterious Places" edited by Jennifer Westwood, and it all made sense. The Magi, originally members of a tribe who live in northwest Iran, were widely regarded throughout the ancient world as the privileged priests of Zoroastrianism. The Three Wise Men, were said to travel from Saveh in Iran to witness the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, were Magi. From this word comes the word "magic", once used to denote the rites of Zoroastrianism. Later, when that faith was supplanted by other religions, it simply came to mean "sorcery". Zoroastrianism was a reformed version of the Aryan faith (google Mithra) stressing the principle of dualism - the eternal conflict between the creator Ahuramazda and his adversary Ahriman, between Good and Evil, Truth and Lie. Fire is the central feature of Soroastrianism as the symbol of Ahuramsda. Modern Parsees (only 130,00 modern day Zoroastrians live in Bombay, India) maintain, as their ancestors did, a perpetual fire in their temples. The priests still wear veils to prevent their breath from contaminating the purity of the fire and only clean, dry wood is used. |

St. George and the Itty Bitty

)
|
| My intention wth this piece was to emulate the early 15th century painting styles and composition which I found somewhaat iconographic and translate that feel to my own style and sensibility. |

Spin
2006 |
)
|
| The sad worried eyes
Stare transfixed upon the spinning rings
Interlocked and moving with a subsonic hum
Crystal chimes sound when they touch
forming and releasing new possibilities
The rings of fate continue to spin
His raised hand, in a blessing
Sends out waves of chance,
Colliding with strings of time
Creating random symphonies of life,
moving in lush rhythms
Ascending into the violent serenity of chaos
His strained face,
covered by the living moko
Reflect's the insistent and maddening songs of the muses
Eternally demanding his vigilance
Their constant cravings never ceasing
He questions the overwhelming responsibility of movement,
Of creativity, of dancing in the moment
Of giving birth
And letting go
The rings continue to spin

Fire Dance
2002-2003 |
)
|
| Fire Dance is about ritual and dance and the bridge that it creates between this world and those other we do not understand. In this painting the figures were done in a combination of the styles of Inca and Aztec figures with a touch of influence of the Japanese master Hokusi. Using these styles in combination with the theme of a fire dance and the colors of a raging fire burning off the picture plane and its cast shadows gives the composition an ancient and mystical feel evoking the spirit of the dance. |

Bird In Hand
2003-2004 |
)
|
| Bird in Hand incorporates many Sumerian cuneiform symbols as well as figures in yogic and ballet stances. The heads of the figures are a combination of instruments and parts of a gondola. For me the building represent a library of knowledge, both scientific, cultural and spiritual written knowledge that needs to be protected from the the ever present danger of religious fundamentalism that is prevailing the world at the moment. |

| 未来的展览 | |
| In 2007 I was included in two international juried shows at Monkdogz Urban Gallery in Chelsea, NYC, NY. At the moment I'm in another international juried show (judge: Laurence Gartel digital art Icon) called Digital Art Long Island. I have recently submitted work to NanoArt 2007 featuring images created using electron microscope photography. I'm sure there are some exhibitions I've missed. | |
