Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.― Edgar Degas

This series of mixed media artworks came out of an intuitive color and figure drawing intensive led by Martin Campos in April 2024. Martin always tells his students that fracturing the form and disrupting the linear process of drawing makes for a more felt, inspired world within an artwork. I was often pushed to go beyond my toolbox full of tricks and to go as glacially as possible when approaching the figure. Most of the time, I felt like I made hundreds of failed attempts, grappling with the messy outcomes that were neither successful nor beautiful in the traditional sense. However, something interesting happened occasionally as a result, blurring my hard lines between form and emotion.

Artwork size: 9 x 12 in.

One of my favorite artist’s philosophies comes from the great Zen Master and artist, Hakuin Ekaku. He proposed that the inner character of the artist shining through gives a painting its power. With that in mind, my figurative paintings explore and encompass all of my interests in art: the exploration of mixed media, the design of shapes and forms by observing the figure, the joy of color and line, and Zen meditation.
