Faces and figures

I paint a lot of faces, it is a rewarding and fascinating process, to take a blank canvas and fill it with whatever emotion I am trying to express. Painting faces and figures is my default setting, if I free-draw just making lines and movements without consideration as to the final outcome, then 9 times out of ten I will end up with a face or figure. It has become somewhat of an obsession to capture certain feelings, expressions, and even stories. A trend which will continue until I feel satisfied that I have said what I want to say with a certain idea or concept. Stylistically, my paintings have a range of different approaches. Expressionism, Cubism, and Art Brut are all interesting to me, but I guess you could mostly describe them as belonging to the school of Outsider Art. Original outsider art painted with a punk heart.

I like to scratch, scrape, splash, and attack my canvasses in a variety of different ways depending on my mood. Click here to see more.
