Caravaggio obsession: teaching myself to paint

Takashi Murakami:

About surviving/being in the art world…First distinctively situate his/her position in art history. Second, articulate what the beauty of his/her art is. Next sexuality. Then death. Present what he/she finds in death. If an artist aptly rotates this cycle, he/she can survive. Damien Hirst has been repeating the cycle of birth, death, love,

sex and beauty…. think there should be a strong emotion within an artist to continuously create powerful works.

"...My generation, “The Baby Boomers,” turned out to be what the writer Kurt Andersen called “The Grasshopper Generation.” We’ve eaten through all that abundance like hungry locusts." Tom Friedman NYTimes

Movement: Lyrical precariousness/Transitions

As an artist I am interested in questioning linear time and examining moments of lyrical movement as well as exploring energy and animation.
