For this series, I wanted to capture the end of tragedy becoming the birth of opportunity. The dark, curving silhouettes of the shapes simultaneously suggest poses of mourning and despair as much as of celebration and sensuality.
In these simple paintings I tried to bring together the many strands of art that I admire, including the work of modernist pioneers like Matisse and Miró, the ornamental compositions of medieval illumination, and the calligraphic elegance of Islamic art.
