Artist's Statement
This peaceful image is part of “The Silence”, a series of work created between 2019 and 2020 of paintings featuring empty rooms and open spaces with inanimate objects, human figures, or animals, often with elongated shadows that convey forlornness, yet paradoxically, project a feeling of strength and independence. These shadows are always in direct response to whatever object the light hits–whether living or inert. I am inspired by how the light and shadow play off of each other. Light always travels in a straight line. The direction it is traveling from and the temperature of the light intuitively pulls one into the subject. The shadow, in contrast, provides context to the subject.
