Now if there's a smile on my face
It's only there trying to fool the public…
One of the common threads that connects my work, is pain. Early on in my artistic journey, I found myself drawn to artists and creatives whose creativity seemed to come from a place of pain and hurt. My curiosity with this connection between pain and creativity has grown into an art obsession. Initially the focus was on musicians, but recently I turned my gaze towards those who make us laugh, thus, the birth of this series titled “Tears of a Clown.” Somewhere in between the laughs there is often pain and darkness. The gifted ones spin their tales in such a way, that the laughter anesthetizes us as they unload their pain on us.
These are a few images from the series, hopefully soon I will be finish with the series and compile the images into an Art Book…
