With
the influence of computers, all of my artistic abilities have
been altered in some strange, yet beautiful way. My feelings and
emotions are now transferred through different media.
I
tend to stray away from color when painting. It is too confusing,
symbolic, and predictable. Color does not help create the correct
mood I want my audience to experience. My style is purely monochromatic,
black and white. I am in a positive or negative state of confusion
when I paint, symbolic of the yin and yang. With black and white
colors in my grasp, I feel as if I have complete power in my fingertips.
Contrast makes my pieces strikingly beautiful, as colors of light
and dark capture the ultimate mood and reveal the innocent yet
seductive qualities of a subject.
Animation
represents a more joyful, technological mood for me. I made it
a medium to strive for when I was younger. The use of computers
to manipulate images and have them come alive is a fascinating
experience. My sound is an important part of my animation. The
audience can close their eyes to receive the full experience without
having the need for a visual explanation. My sound is a bridge
to their stream of consciousness.
When
drawing, I concentrate on realism and abstract shapes. Like the
rest of my pieces, I refrain from using a focal point. I enjoy
direction -- a movement of the eye across a composition. When
I draw, I start from the bottom or top of the page, and work my
way from left to right.
For
many years, my art has been contained, only witnessed by my loved
ones and me. I no longer have the desire to create art for my
benefit. I am addicted to the reactions of my audience and their
inner thoughts. To please society is an accomplishment in itself....
