Coffee on a Rainy Night

There is a certain magic in sitting by a window on a rainy night. Watching the world become soaked, we remain dry, yet somehow our hearts become wet with it. Raindrops gathering and running down the glass bend the light in strange and beautiful ways, allowing it to reach somewhere deeper within us. A warm cup of coffee seems to hold that reflected light, making the quiet magic of the rainy night even more beautiful.

"I think my art is a journey to explore human nature." *Gallery artist – Sparrow Gallery, Denison TX, Heron House Gallery, Granbury TX, Galrie Du Nord, Amsterdam Two artists have profoundly impacted my art: John Singer Sargent and Egon Schiele. Both are portrait artists, yet their styles are remarkably different, shaping the evolution of my own artistic style. Sargent's incredible use of color and positioning on the canvas captivated me. His portraits are elegant and sophisticated, capturing light and texture beautifully. However, I began to question whether this external elegance truly captured human nature. In contrast, Schiele’s portraits are more shocking, with darker colors and bolder lines. His style delves into the human psyche, revealing complexities and loneliness. This led me to incorporate more expressive and unconventional elements into my art.
