Sorrow, anger, fear, courage and love... some of our primal emotions. The here and after. The reasons for my existence. The meaning of life. These are all aspects that pertain to the realm of the flesh and the spirit. They reflect, undeniably, the human condition. They are major preoccupations at the core of my work. Self portraiture has become the vehicle of my choice to create metaphors of these preoccupations that constantly inhabit my mind. I recur to personal symbols and emotional states to bring forth these metaphors in an intense manner.
