My recent series of works have acted as an exploration of religious narratives I remember from my childhood. Though not a religious man now I have been attempting to to reconnect and reconfigure some sort relationship I once felt for these stories, be it one that coincides with the morals I now have as an adult. The large scale mixed media paintings are all abstract reimaginings of biblical stories. I sought to express these near flawless individuals as being more “human”. I wanted show a more relatable narratives than the ones I had grown accustomed to hearing.
