This class is designed for all-level artists. 

We will play with the idea of transformation and this could entail a physical, emotional, or spiritual change, deep of superficial, personal or collective. Any interpretation is allowed. Students will focus on the portrait but will need to challenge themselves to create a character out of their minds while using the traditional methods of painting in acrylics to achieve a more personal style.

Metamorphosis-Painting

Metamorphosis. Oil on canvas. 48"x60". 2016.

In my recent works most of the portraits and characters seem to be transforming or turning into something else. Part of these ideas come from those common existential questions about the universe, life and death, which usually leaves me with a bigger pile of questions instead of answers. 

The definition of Metamorphosis refers to change from one form to another. It could be a physical, psychological or spiritual change. Everything transforms to live or to die, to adapt, or to become something else:  one with earth, air, or with others.
