This minimalist boat painting, "Solo" features a solitary geometric boat, its clean lines and angular form contrasting starkly with the blue and green water. As an artist, the naming process can be as fascinating as the creative process itself. Recently, I found myself grappling with a particularly intriguing dilemma: should I name this painting "Solo" or "Solo Boat"? "Solo Boat" was a more literal and descriptive approach. However, I ultimately decided to go with "Solo." While "Solo Boat" had its merits, I felt that "Solo" was a more impactful and memorable choice. Plus, let's face it, who doesn't love a good Star Wars reference?

STATEMENT
In my art practice, I strive to create paintings that evoke an acute awareness and centered meditative state towards our daily surroundings using a tight geometric abstract visual language. Often using a horizon line to make a reference point for the viewer, my paintings evolve with varied opaque and translucent layers of acrylic paint on canvas. While I create a time-based visual context for my paintings with sunrises and sunsets in color choices and titles, my hyper-realistic execution of stillness through a tight complex network of lines and forms indicates an almost suffocating state of our present-day reality. I strive to present a perceptual consciousness through the spatial organization of architectural and natural landscapes with great attention to the foundation of my colors. While easily interpreted as geometric abstract landscape paintings, I hope that the intensity of my compositions demands unorthodox attention from the viewer to invest in a centered and calm vision within the chaotic times of our present day.
