Responding to the urgency from current global socio-political realities, these paintings render man as a social form in crisis. Man is fragmented bythe terrible forces of capitalism - consumption and production - that turnsexistence into an incoherent form of (social) abstraction. Thus, the figure of man is represented as the grotesque body of the social. Painting, being made from the genuine consciousness and purposeful hand of man, provides ameaningful gesture in a life filled with limited meaning. By expressing an alternative state, or a sense of freedom, the act of painting becomes a means for reflection and of resistance.
