Artist Statement
As a young, growing artist, I am still in the process of discovering and uncovering my personal, unique styles and interests. My submission for the Tempos Show was an assignment so it does not necessarily reflect who I am as an artist, but I do feel as if it shows my artistic flare applied to a limited subject matter. Through these assignments and others, I have realized my love for human proportions, realism, and naturalistic elements. “Where are all the People?” is a drawing inspired by the form and content of Leonardo Da Vinci’s study of praying hands. The title alludes not only to a childhood rhyme but also to a religious and social statement. I fittingly used an image of my own mother’s hands to execute the allusion and formal line qualities similar to those of Da Vinci. I was pleased with the outcome, not really knowing what to expect, and am looking forward to seeing how my personal style will carry on throughout my future paintings.
