About this artwork

This piece is motivated by the love that gives birth to a family. Family is one of my recurring themes and it is very important to me. A family is the most important aspect of the human social structure. This features a Mother and Father entwined in an unbroken bond that has already begun to bear fruit. The use of strong blues reflects spiritual depth and the warmth in the Mother’s torso speaks to the life forge that creates a new soul.

About the artist

I am personally motivated by my fascination with the concept of Family, relationships, complex social structures (and the innate duality within these themes) and how I express and interpret them via my Faith in Christ and my culture. The Forms and colors I work with are my primary vehicles of expression. I treat my style as a second tier in my mode of expression, thus if the message suits Abstract Expressionism (or any style tweak that I deem necessary) then that is what I'll revert to. I am deeply fascinated by the manipulations of colour and light through space and I try to bring this into my works as often as possible. Most of my work starts with written personal introspection based on a single topic (a sort of text sketch that best articulates), either an emotion or a concept i.e Joy or Victory, Hate or Freedom. Once I have channelled my ideas as writings or musings, I illustrate it in whatever style best suits the final expression/vision. Most of my conclusions are best expressed in non representational forms, as I find myself always seeking expression of the relationships between God, emotions and the human soul.
