Abstract

My oil paintings are an exploration of the inner-workings of the human brain. The brain is the most vital, and often times the most perplexing tool we as humans possess. More than anything else, this organ governs how we think, how we act, how we live. Utilizing contemporary literature, I investigate the electrochemical reactions that occur inside the brain. My art then becomes the symbolization of neurological functions. Through a combination of compositional planning and process-driven spontaneity, I produce imagery that is based in science yet exists in a place beyond this reality.
