COCA Collision

“I am fascinated by the human form and human emotions. My combination of color harmonies and textures are meant to create a mood. The blending of graceful lines and shades in my paintings is what distinguishes my style. Every line in my artwork has a specific purpose and my use of color is intended to connect to the viewer on a personal level. Color speaks a language that is understood by all. Sometimes even without notice, we are influenced by its power. By transforming the human form into a minimal and easily accessible vision I am able to let colors take hold of my artwork and let the lines guide the wondering eye. Our eyes respond to cognitive, emotional and sensory inputs. This provides a window into our inner thoughts, feelings and ultimately our identity. I often omit certain facial features such as the eyes or leave my figures completely faceless this is to allow the figure to connect with us on a human level without our own sense of identity playing a role. “
