The Mountains 2023
Mountain #1 Dawn
Oil on Canvas 2023
70x 32 1⁄2 inches
The work, titled The Mountains, takes as its subject the 5 unfinished marbles by Michelangelo found in the hall of prisoners which leads to the rotunda where his David statue stands in the Academia in Florence, Italy. Apart from their direct relationship to Michelangelo’s sculptures, these paintings also act as landscapes, contain other art historical references within them, and references personal experiences (life), before and while I was working on them.
As a subject, I think these sculptures by Michelangelo are possibly some of his most profound statements on the act of creating, struggle, beauty and the potential of sincere hard work toward a creative endeavor that may never be obtained.
I know that Michelangelo saw these works as unfinished. However, I also believed that he realized that they had a power of presence that resonated that feeling of what it is to be a human being.
It is that same sense of presence that I hope to express in this work of 5 paintings.
