The Given
Are you looking for a statement piece of quality art? Do you believe in myth?
Then this is for you... it will add a many layered statement to any room, be a conversation starter and delight you for many years!
I have been exploring mythmaking in my practice. I have been working through my personal deamons during the last few months and I felt a need to make my own "Schutzmantel Madonna" (protective cloak Madonna sculptures were popular in the middle ages) to keep me safe. That was my starting point for this painting. I went back and reworked her again and again over the course of 2 years. Finally I feel I have caught her on canvas...and look, you can see the world turning...
When painting abstract work, I start with a feeling, an intuition, something from my very core. Which is why these works are deeply personal. And my gift to the world. I work by balancing out, not knowing exactly what will come, but bringing it all together to form a harmonious whole. A new world for you to enjoy.
