SCULPTURE

Sculpture is my first language in the realm of Art. I actually speak volumes in sculpture language; convex volumes. A convex volume is a flat surface pushed outward by the spirit within.
I have distilled six thousand years of sculpture history through my personal experience to produce my portraits. The result is authentic even when viewed in context with similar sculpture like the Etruscan, Romanesque, etc or find similarities with extremely contrasting styles like Brancusi’s highly polished abstract sculpture.
What do these diametrically different works have in common?
Convexity; volumes pregnant with  spirit … spirit and matter.
The purpose of  language and art is communication.
To me, to express my truth, so distilled… that it could double for anybody’s truth.
Enjoy your discovery.
