"Fighting Gravity", oil on canvas, 36 x 24 in (91.4 x 60.9 cm)


 

"Fighting Gravity" is an expression of sheer human potential, which, through

knowledge and invention, has allowed people to rise beyond the confines of

Earth. It is also an allusion to the power of the human spirit within the realm

of emotion, an energy that lets us overcome fear, sadness, and other feelings

that make our existence difficult.

"Melancholy", oil on canvas, 24 x 30 in (60.9 x 76.2 cm)


 

 

"Melancholy" refers to the invisible barriers that often isolate us from the real world. These impediments may be purely psychological or physical but remain unseeable, such as those associated with a pandemic. These barriers are like glass plates - transparent but impenetrable.

"Haunted Harbor", oil on canvas, 24 x 30 in (60.9 x 76.2 cm)


 

The specters of ships that have perished at sea appear in an abandoned harbor on a foggy, gloomy day.

This painterly vision is a poetic metaphor blending the past with the present to uncover an intrinsic sadness accompanying human existence.
