As I begin a painting, it as if I fall in love anew. Every brushstroke can shake me with despair or raise me in triumph. I look to the canvas like the face of a lover, embracing the flaws and in awe of the beauty wondering what the future may hold.
Some people think that my work is about youth but I don’t perceive it that way. For me it’s a timelessness of who we are as gay men, breaking down a façade and revealing ourselves. A chance to be vulnerable, an agelessness that resides in all of us. The beauty of men in all forms. That’s what I hope my work leaves the viewer with. |
