Overcoming the matrix of mind

Oil on canvas (framed).

16x20"

This is one of my prized paintings that I made at a very transformative time in my life. I was in art school trying to figure it all out. Amongst day to day life, I spent a lot of time dwelling on the nature of reality. It was in the act of painting where I found the deepest healing and reflection. The moments spent in front of the canvas allowed me to be real with myself. I could see who I had become, where I wanted to go, and how hard it is to let go.

Despite the many hours I put into this work, I still enjoy looking at it. It reminds me growth is right around the corner and that no matter how stuck we might feel, there’s always hope for tomorrow.
