Shadow of morning

This piece contrasts containment and fragmentation. A dense, geometric mass sits beside a clean, defined cup—two states sharing one space. Morning light crosses them, yet shadow persists. The darker form feels compressed, carrying weight, while the cup remains controlled within light. Nothing resolves; they remain side by side, suspended between clarity and lingering shadow.

"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.
