Paintings

I want these paintings to make the viewer feel represented. Not like looking in a mirror, but rather recognizing a shared desire free from editing or denial, knowing their gaze has merit, and is worth celebrating. To know they’re not alone.
  • Painting of golden hued muscular and bare chested male angel with flaming black wings standing before a peaceful landscape of a river flowing into the sunset. He is flanked by skyscraper like objects and delicate floating blossoms.

    Wings and Horns

    A series of male angels as fully erotic, playful, and sensual, beings--not without some sharp edges
  • Painting of the face of a young man in the throes of ecstacy against a dark background with delicate magnolia blossoms floating in the foreground

    Chromatic Desires

    Flower and figure, blossom and body. Desire and delight embodied in different but complementary forms—the same fundamental essence creating an endless variety of manifestations.
  • Painting of a nude male, arms overhead and head leaned back in a posture of some distress, standing over another figure, possibly himself prone on the ground. Behind them is a swirly angry sky dominated by a red planet. In front of them shotgun shells are floating forward and being transformed into passion flowers.

    The Offering

    A series of four paintings, each focused on a different element: water, earth, metal, and air. Each element evokes a very different environment and, more importantly, a different manifestation of the totality to which our golden beauties are about to merge with. The erotic need not, indeed should not, be limited merely to the human realm.
  • shirtless man in front a dark background reminiscent of giant ivy leaves, his hand is slowly turning to gold as it is wrapped by a vibrant green ivy vine

    Watches of the Night

    These small paintings combine abstract floral elements with male figures–active, passive, sensual, erotic, pornographic. Occasional hints of surrealism decorate a few of them. They aim to re-contextualize. Transformation becomes possible because nothing is absolute or inherent.
