Maestoso

Spring is all about the return of light, and that deep warmth of the sun, once again bringing hope and rejuvenation after a long winter.

As we emerge from hibernation, reclaiming our gardens, it’s difficult to resist that life-giving light. The sun seems to warm our very souls, bringing fresh colors and beauty to our surroundings, making it nearly impossible to hold back a little smile. A relaxing day in the sun. warms not only our bodies but also our hearts, reminding us how much we’ve missed the strength found in light.

This piece is to celebrate spring, as we recover from a long and cold winter, the universal inclination to step outside, embrace the returning light, feel the warmth—to fully take in the  rejuvenating rays of the sun after a long dark Winter.

As an artist, I find great inspiration in the human form and what better way to celebrate tis beauty and expression than bathed in the warming sunlight of Spring. The beauty of the human figure and its limitless potential for expression through body language, a powerful medium in itself, is what draws me to work with it. Body language holds the potential to express what words cannot, and this is a responsibility I take seriously in my work.

I meticulously direct the use of body language in my paintings, working carefully with the model to create a piece that expresses the emotion and feeling that we often struggle to put into words. In the case of “Maestosa,” the pose of the figure exudes an inner strength and confidence for the viewer to comfortably share, in a moment of peace of mind and inner fortitude, ready for whatever life may bring.
