Since the dawn of Human enlightenment symbols,emblems, paintings, pictographs, hieroglyphs, and art in general have been used as catalysts to convey a meaning, or many meanings, that mere verbal words can never do the justice in relaying to the recipient of the message, whether that message be on a physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual aspect of reality. Some are simple to understand; others are multifaceted in their representations of ideas,appearing to be incongruous, yet since springing from one original picture, are ultimately harmonically connected, or related; and few pictured ideas are so radical enough that the imagination of the cosmos itself even in its details of construction might result from their essence. This understanding serves as the basis for the meaning as purpose behind my artwork. The meaning is my attempt at a synergy, amalgamation, and synthesis of the core essences within the theological,psychological, and emotional concepts that | grasp and understand through my perspectives. The purpose behind of my artwork, besides being an outlet for venting, is a way I can express my beliefs in a way that the world can understand it.l use symbology,pictographs,etc.to share and display a piece of my soul. And the process? Well honestly I'm a learning artist still trying to master the craft, and the process is something that I've just started learning how to understand,so I haven't formed a precise science behind it yet.But what I do know is that it invokes a lot of meditation, self-reflection, quiet time alone with my own thoughts, and sometimes the viewing of images or sceneries within nature that better serve as the alphabets for the expression of my idea language. Lastly the artist that inspired me to have the courage to begin this path is M.C.Escher.His life taught me that it despite a person's social standing magnificent can be created by them.His artwork taught me that, like a pointillist painting, people, places, or things when observed from afar many times reveal an entirely different worlds) of understanding, just as when views closely;and that people, places, or things seeming unrelated to each other can be connected through a single thread which can be weaved with other threads, into insightful tapestries.
