Drawings

Drawing from life is the foundation for any figurative painter. These are charcoal on paper.

2013 - 2014

This body of work emphasizes the models’ passive interaction between
the artist and the studio environment. Working from life is essential. Inspiration is
key. As a painter, I try to capture the models’ blemishes, psychology, flesh and the
coursing veins underneath. Most of my works are seated or reclining nudes juxtaposed
with a blanket, rug or walls. My landscapes are urban. I am trying to portray
the aging and solitude of the structures amid the hustle of city life.
