In this body of work “Entropy" classical sculptures are depicted in an impossible moment of explosion.  Painted on wood, each work takes months to complete, building up layers of paint that capture the volume of sculptures while also creating moments of painterly abstraction. Each work begins with a canonical sculpture that was digitally manipulate in order to explore and control each rupture, this image becomes an inspiration and guide for the resulting painting.  The symbiotic relationship between traditional painting techniques and modern technology creates a new visual language, the means of production and source material subsumed and transformed by the painting process.
