Cerebral Duende.

Because the consistent format for all the Freedom ART Project paintings suggests refinement of thought, consideration, contemplation – and requires organization, preparation – it is apparent to me that all this leads to the loss of spontaneous ‘naturality’ – that thing that happens on its own, and occurs naturally without human intervention - has a wonder and a mystery that is, to me, an enticing element to an encounter. I do not want the 'gut-primal' (below cognition) reaction in my paintings to be lost in refinement.

Though drawn toward perfection and desirous of the perfect, humanity is not perfect in and of itself. A refined and skillful approach to the cloud sections of the Freedom ART Project paintings, though visually stunning they may be, will not have the energetic engagement I want – they will not pulse with the life I want them to emanate - they will not explode with potentiality – nor pulse with the music of the wind. This is a difficult thing to achieve in a static medium...

... but it can be achieved.

These new works are reflections of humanities inner sensuality, emotion, impulse and reverberation – portraits of an inner spirit – our animus.

And if we are made in God’s image, than these are a dark glass through which we perceive ourselves and the mysterious divine - a energy we hardly grasp.

These worksof the Freedom ART Project,
require a "Cerebral Duende."
