He noticed an unused canvas in a dumpster
outside of his apartment. He had a vision
of a woman he wanted to paint from a
photograph he had taken. This was the
beginning of his advent into art. His first
painting titled, "Serenity" is what evolved
on that thrown away canvas. He decided
to try his hand at art The next decision
was a warm climate to work in. He flipped
a coin for Miami or California. He now
lives in West Hollywood among a number
of aspiring young artists. He describes his
work as photorealism or hyper-real. From
his beginning, in photography, he says he
looks at where light is coming from, where it
is focused. He begins a painting with these
questions in mind. The subjects of his work
now are primarily figures of models he has
photographed. He uses a griding technique
to achieve the details in the realism of the
painting. He indicated that he is a growing
artist and now realism is his focus who
knows what the future will bring with new
techniques with this young creative artist.
