“The conceptual style of painting that I use is that of vibrations. How​ ​do I create movement on the canvas? “Everything in life is vibration.”​ ​– Albert Einstein. The law of nature that states everything has a​ ​vibration. He said “everything is energy and that’s all there is to​ ​​it. Match the frequency of the reality you want, and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy.”​ ​I started​experimenting about 5 years ago with transposing this idea​ ​on the canvas. Recently painting the superheroes over the last year​ ​and a half I found the perfect outlet to expand this idea and give it​ ​a great run with multiple signings and collaborations with the actors​ ​who portray them. The paint sprays and streaks that run behind help​ ​create movement on a black and gray vignette. Strategically painting​ ​the figure over this in transparent overlays with airbrush and​ ​traditional brush work with glazes really helps complete the effect.​ ​It is time consuming and you really have to take a break to step back​ ​and observe the piece while working on it because once paint is​ ​applied it can’t be removed. Over the years several paintings have​ ​been scrapped because of rushing through or losing focus. With​ ​patience once finished the results are breathtaking.”​
