Putting Myself Together:

Needless to say, I have painted this image inspired by, and with women - all women past, present and future - in mind. As an artist-in-the-making, I find myself going through an ongoing metamorphosis. It is a never-ending process that allows human beings to experience vital stages and phases as we go through life and during which we seem to gather the necessary “pieces” to better understand our selves and the world around us.

I strongly believe that we, men and women, are the most amazing and awesome creatures to have ever been designed and created, all modesty aside. In this case, the beautiful, organic, graceful lines that a woman’s body exhibits and her sweet and delicate presence have certainly inspired me to render this image. The colors that I have chosen also relate to the natural change of seasons and how Mother Nature reminds us of the magical journey we all make through life. This painting also tells of how we transition from one stage into another, accumulating experiences and vital “pieces” along the way so necessary to put our own “puzzle” together.
