30 Studies
Everything that appears in my studies is inspired by something in my life. All the formal themes visible are based on things that are a part of my life or that catch my eye and interest me living in the city; such as landscapes, buildings, sky, people, etc. Then I take these compositions and paint through my interpretation of them, whether being a realistic image or abstract to the viewer.
All studies i believe are successful in one way or another. For some I find myself doing exactly what I had planned from the start and for others I find myself going in the complete opposite direction from my idea after the first brush stroke is put on the surface. Either way it is part of experimentation and finding innovation in your work. If you allow yourself to go in a direction that you might not have seen coming from the start, and don't limit yourself to one idea, you open the doors to a new realm and the possibilities on what you can achieve are endless. To me, the most experimental studies are the most successful.
In these 30 studies my most experimental are those that I start with only a color or shape in mind and let loose from there. These are also the most successful to me because you can sit with a reference and recreate what you see, but you already have what you want right in front of you from the start. When you come at the surface that you are painting with your own interpretation and you are still able to create an image is pleasing to the eye in the end, that is a success.
