My art, may sometime appear to be perversed, neurotic, paradoxical...but the subject matter fascinates me at the same time.
(above: works in progress)
I like to transcend, to remind humanity of how god like we are and I also want to deconstruct what had been transcended. That is we are of flesh and blood...that we are not immortals.
I'm a realist that dreams...hehe. You can see how confused I can get. I cherish the reliabilty of realistic art skill.When the camera malfunctions, I can always capture an image just as or almost as precise. Just takes time and patience...
My obsession in anatomical drawing actually started at the time I started to take science classes for the pre-pharmacy program. It's a spectacular influence on my art, I believe. Nevertheless, it made me feel like a complete ignorant...reminding me of how little I know.
Portraits to me are fascinating, especially ones that are painted or drawn. When I work on a portrait, it's not just getting down shapes and values. It's also getting to know or already knew intimately the topography of a particular human's face. The more I know of a person, the more lifely his or her portrait will be.
Art is at the evolutionary line where practically anything can be art. Do you disagree? I've learned Photoshop, taken 2 photography classes, and try to be technologically literate for the present art world. But, this is my default; the renaissance-esque and greco-roman styles, my favorite tools-the pencil, pen, and paint brush.
I'd like to meet:
Friends: old ones, new ones, ones who take a shine to my my point of views. And, especially ones who would be so kind to the share the proof of any real number X divided by zero equals to undefined or infinity.
