Composite Realism

Click on a circle above to view that collection of artwork.

My spiritual art represents my ongoing self-exploration
through an examination of my cross-cultural identity,
philosophical affinities, and world travels. These pieces
are usually done in a style I have termed Composite
Realism, in which disparate elements are juxtaposed
in unexpected ways to produce a holistic composition
that embodies some aspect of my spiritual being.

I am always seeking connections between things -
between ideas, events, objects, histories, narratives,
locations. By finding connections, differences are
no longer threatening - instead they serve to augment
a sense of wholeness and unity. In these pieces,
various elements are plucked from my consciousness
and put together in ways that demonstrate and
celebrate the underlying unity of all things.

Every piece of art ever made introduces a new version of reality, emanating the artist's personal perspective. The version of reality I propose through these artworks is one in which substance and spirit supercede boundaries, connotations, and limitations, presenting a fertile world swimming in endless possibilities. This gallery is divided into two collections of work, animaux and spiritual. The animaux collection features a range of artwork with an animal providing the main focal point for the image. The spiritual collection is more overtly based on spiritual searches and philosophical beliefs.
