“My art has always derived from mental imagery and self experience. As a youth, television and music played a role but, as time progressed, I reconstructed those images into a depiction of my own. A coded language, for short. The faces are often my own or those from a particular moment from my life. It’s almost like trying to pause a movie you want to recall that image but sometimes the moment itself and the faces blur. That movie in my case is my life day-by-day. And you’re just seeing screen grabs from it but, to me, the plot is clear.”
“Sometimes I paint to remember, sometimes I paint to forget. The only commonality between the two stands at the initial reflection process behind them. The whole ideology that says “the Internet represents a sort of memory bank” deteriorates being human. At least, to me, it does.”
