My work is narrative in nature. All of the content is derived from the world I have been constructing for the last several years which is centered around the rebirth of human civilization 250 million years into Earth’s future. It focuses on the timelessness of the human condition: On love, life, and suffering.
The purpose of these images is to capture a moment in time from the narrative, not at all unlike movie stills or frames. The aim is to engage the viewer to look more closely. Drawing the viewer in, I can submerge them in the emotion of the scene, empathizing with the characters and to experiencing their story. Using digital painting, I can create these moments with relative ease and spend hours getting lost in small revealing details of the characters, like the progression of hair growth, a deep tiredness, a deadly wound, or a reflection in a pair of glasses. These details show the vices of the human subjects, the ones in the foreground that we must look past to discover the real story, which would otherwise go untold.
