I believe that my paintings speak for themselves, in a way that is unmistakable and unmisinterpretable... when an artist decides to verbally try to explain (through words) what they can barely express through a language they are even more fluent in (through artistic creation), the essence of their meaning is often times lost. To even title a work, to attempt to verbalize the non-verbal expression is to either put the finishing touches upon the work or to further obscure its meaning and its power.

I believe that life is the true canvas on which the artist paints by living, and that the life of an artist is what can become the true masterpiece.

I am not a painter, as much as I am 'The Painted'. More than anything, I believe that God is the Greatest Artist."
