Bold color surrounds a face that feels anything but bold.
Behind oversized glasses, one eye meets the viewer while the other disappears into fractured color. There is sadness in his expression, but also something arresting about him—a face broken into unexpected shapes and colors that somehow still holds together.
Fractured Vision holds a deeply personal place in my work. It was the first painting I created after Bryan died that I stepped back from and genuinely felt good about.
I wasn't trying to paint grief or make the piece mean something specific. I was drawn to the reference—the boldness of it, the face, and the sadness I saw there. I took the pieces that made me feel something and made them my own.
Looking back, this painting became more than the image that inspired it. It was a moment when creating felt good again.
This piece is framed.
