And\/or in life in general ? from the ARTLOVERSNEWYORK ARCHIVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\na wonderful, twisty narrative, dreamy, screaming painting . . this past Fall, that still – haunts me.
\nhalf self-portrait \/ half shout-out to the . . world.
\nand, which most definitely . . invoked the vast dark unknown, the unrelenting furies, the very possibly, and near, deep . . <\/strong> scary future \/ was it a dream ?
\nthat settles on every one of us, in our deepest times.
\nnot to mention: the ‘code’, and power . . of the color: RED.
\nand, the 3 horsemen \/ . . . of yore.<\/p>\n<\/a>

\nhis answer: “Sometimes trauma, but I’m learning to feed off of more healthy feelings. Most people create based on stress or trauma. I’m thinking more about love these days.”<\/p>\n
\nhis answer: “It’s about distorting nature and enhancing certain colors – so you find yourself in<\/strong> a painting. Nature is usually used more naturalistically. This piece has a naturalistic feeling even with the heightened aspects.”<\/p>\n
\nhis answer: “It’s a heightened experience, so the viewer feels the work more electrically – within their subconscious.”<\/p>\n
\nhis answer: “Sometimes life feels like a waste of energy, and just<\/strong> a waiting period before death. Other times I’ll make something special like this painting, and my love, and excitement for life – is restored.”<\/p>\n<\/a>
