"Duality - Polished Decorum Outside, Untamed Reality Within"

"Duality - Polished Decorum Outside, Untamed Reality Within" Her outer expression is composed, delicate, and restrained, while the internal creature—with its long tail, sharp gaze, and raw instinct—tells the true story of the unyielding emotions we carry beneath our polished exteriors. Original acrylic painting on Canson archival 100% cotton heavy weight paper mounted on a wooden panel. It's ready to hang by the attached picture wire on the back. The dimensions are: 22” x 17” x 1" Each of my paintings is a collection of under paintings. I build up layers of paint and texture before I introduce a figure. This provides a rich backdrop for the image to live on. It also helps me to mentally prepare for the story I'm about to tell. The symbols I use create a pictorial language that I share with my audience. Each piece is a unique expression of my response to my inner world and the world around me.
