Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is a series of paintings I did between 2020 & 2021 in Brooklyn, New York! The energy in New York City was surreal and intense! It was in the midst of a pandemic! The human struggle for survival and continuation of existence was very apparent! It somehow felt like I am in a jungle in a beautiful way!
Like my other paintings sound has always had an influence on my visual art! Music created impetus and inspiration for this series of paintings as well! I wished to produce a pure and transcendental art form and not just use a familiar image!
I use music as an analogy or metaphor in my artistic expression. By listening to music and emulating it in my work, Like music, my work is created from the depth of my inner self and the purest way to express this is letting the rhythm leads what I draw. You can perhaps dream without words and fly through time and space without moving by looking at them.
