A selection of paintings made under the idea of Suspiration. The definition of Suspiration is "to fetch a deep breath, breathe out, exclaim with a sigh."

Collisions Series

A series of paintings made under the idea of Collisions. 

The vision kept coming to me, kept slipping away, kept changing. It is of light coming down and crashing like a glowing wave, like a graceful slide. The glow of hope, blur and clarity dancing the dance of eternity. I kept reaching for it and it kept slipping through my fingers.

I decided to paint it over and over because it moves like clouds. It is never static. It is some kind of Divine dance between clarity and obscurity; between logic and nonsense, between knowing and wondering. There is a line drawn like a horizon but it is not. It is a line between the dualities that sway inside us. The dream and reality that mixes up and makes us human. The collision that affirms that we are alive! 

I will keep painting it for as long as it keeps tapping my shoulder.
