Absent

Life sometimes brings memories that we would like to forget. Perhaps you have had an injury or a loss. Possibly you had a terrible date once. You might have even been very sick. Absent is about the freedom achieved when forgetting bad memories. In the painting an almost unidentifiable figure seems to be stretching his arms and embracing freedom.

Placebo

Life is full problems we create in our mind. We think we need to solve these problems that don't even really exist. Maybe you feel too short or too tall or think you have a multitude of other defects, but in reality these kinds of problems are pointless. This painting is like a placebo. It aims to heal a pain that only really exists in your imagination, but the painting doesn't really do anything.

Universe of Thoughts

Our minds are very powerful and creative. They allow us to make calculations, send messages throughout our body, store information and even feel emotions. This abstract painting tries to concieve the human consciousness. It contains many rectangular shapes resembling different abilities of our mind and a center that points out to our deepest being. Perhaps the faded white can be considered to be our thoughts that expand a little beyond our own self, but can never achieve an entire understanding of our surroundings. The brown edges are obscurity and simply the unknown and the dark brown shapes are what we choose to ignore.

Canoodle

This abstract painting shows very contrasting shapes that seem to embrace each other. The dark shapes stretch out to touch and feel as much as they can. These express a passion for life and the people we love. The color choice is somewhat dull in order to achieve a greater contrast with the dark brown, brownish orange and black.
