Pismo Desert Sands 01

Piece description from the artist

My paintings of mountains and landscapes play on themes of human erasure of the natural world. These monuments of earth seem impossible to destroy yet we are constantly attempting to tame and control. These fictitious landmarks are abstracted abstractions of the true thing. Frankenstein’s monster of living environments. The resulting paintings leave a sense of sublime and calm, averse to our collective thoughts on erasing the natural world. Toying with the ideas of “man vs nature” and vice versa, the goal is to deconstruct the archetype and expose intentions plainly. I visited the Dunes of Pismo Beach in Southern California in 2016. It was the first time I ever experienced the feeling of being lost in a true desert and understood how bewildering loosing your sense of place was. The only things around you are the ever shifting sands and sky above.
