ARTIST’S STATEMENT
There upon the dark of night is a series of paintings that explores themes routed in the profoundness of solitude, self refection, the introspective power of the night where darkness allows all that was lost to be found once again, where time has no measure and existence and meaning rise from the fog of night.
