The Light for the Day, 24″ x 24″, oil on linen<\/p><\/div>\n

\u200bI pause to look at the ordinary places and objects in everyday life and feel the stillness and quietness that historic painters such as Johannes Vermeer, Vilhelm Hammersh\u00f8i, and Edward Hopper capture with an inexplicable sense of solitude and melancholy.<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In my paintings, the mundane surroundings imply transient conditions: such as the disappearance or transformation of old buildings, inexpensive furniture abandoned out on the street, people in the subway heading somewhere, an empty street on holiday, small closing stores in the neighborhood, and dusk at the end of a day.<\/em>
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I am compelled to leave traces of such moments of disappearance on my canvas. The toned-down mood and the elaborate details raise feelings of stillness and quietness which portray an ephemeral presence.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
