Rainy Morning

This piece captures a still life shaped by light entering through a rain-streaked window. It is unclear whether the rain has passed or is still falling, leaving the scene suspended between moments. The softened light and muted tones create a quiet atmosphere, where the objects feel both present and distant, held in a brief, uncertain pause.

"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.
