Art can touch people on both a personal and subconscious levels. I really like being symbolic by using both shapes and faceless characters. Symbols speak to us on a subconscious level - our minds analyse them automatically since we’re so used to logos and signs telling us what to do and what to feel in our everyday lives. It’s easy to process them and store them even when we don’t realise we’re doing so.

To put the viewer into the painting I use shapes of faceless figures. This works on a more personal level as the viewers can place themselves at the scene. The symbols then speak to their subconscious as if they were actually there. It’s harder to interpret a lot of artists because we try to understand what was it they were trying to say. When you’re the one facing the setting it is much easier to digest.
