Oil painting, ink drawing and collage elements are integrated in a digital environment with digital painting/ drawing. Representational/ realistic and non representational/ abstract images flow from one to the other, gradually or abruptly, in an abstract, undefined space.

This undefined space lends a sense of timelessness even though there is activity taking place.

Not to be taken too seriously, there is an element of absurdity/ humor always at work. DADA painting upgraded for the 21st century.....

Usually a picture starts off with an image of a person, or with some other found image, but not always. A picture could start with an abstract gesture drawn with oil stick on canvas. A person may come to mind and the beginnings of a portrait are set in motion. Or, if a landscape scene is suggested, a collage element may lead the progress of the picture. Or, a portrait is drawn in ink on paper, brought into the digital environment and worked on altering it digitally, adding collage or fragments of oil paintings which are all then altered, fused, cutup, distorted, smudged, and bastardized in various ways.

The portrait then becomes an interplay of painted (analog/digital) gestures, drawn sketches, and/or collage elements usually old master paintings or fragments of photos.

I looked within her eyes

a sky of blue million smiles

floating amongst the clouds

.

Everyone wants to see into them

like some sort of exotic gems

.

Black ladders reach upward

on which everyone climbs for miles

But the further one goes

the further away are the smiles

.

Eventually everyone falls one by one

landing in black boxes labeled "beans"

climbing, falling again

.

As the blue million smiles multiply

so do the ladders boxes people

climbing, falling faster

.

At a blue billion smiles

the ladders fall, the boxes crumble

everything stops to a sudden silence

.

Peace

Freedom

Beans for everyone.

.

I looked away as someone farted.
