Titled: Innocent Detachment. 15x30 oils on stretched canvas.

This painting conveys loss, innocence, societal disillusionment, and the contrast between childhood nostalgia and adult cynicism. The central figure, a doll-like jack-in-the-box with a cigarette in her mouth, symbolizes a distortion of childhood, where innocence has been corrupted by experience. The cracks on her face suggest fragility, aging, and emotional damage, while her lifeless eyes and eerie expression hint at detachment or resignation.

The surrounding toys, juxtaposed with adult vices such as smoking and alcohol, reinforce the idea of innocence lost or tainted. The presence of the toy soldier symbolizes the imposition of societal expectations, discipline, and conflict, while the all-seeing eye inside the jack-in-the-box hints at surveillance, and paranoia.

The floating bubbles introduce a dreamlike, whimsical element, contrasting with the darker undertones of the composition. This contrast reveals a tension between nostalgia for a simpler past with the harsher realities of adulthood.

Overall, my painting critiques the way society forces individuals to conform, lose their innocence, and adopt self-destructive habits in an attempt to cope. It invites reflection on the transition from childhood to adulthood and the disillusionment that often comes with it.

Title: Emerald Encounter.
16x20 oils on stretched canvas.

The classic "grey" alien immediately evokes the unknown, and a sense of being an outsider or different, and often depicted as observers of humanity.
I added the antlers because they symbolize nature, often associated with stags, wilderness, and a primal connection to the earth.
Bells can symbolize ritual, spirituality, or even a warning. Their placement on the antlers is hinting at ancient or forgotten ceremonies.
His familiar or Companion I added, a cat like creature with the prominent eye represents a familiar spirit, a guardian, an inner aspect of the alien's being. The large, watchful eye symbolizes intuition or inner vision.
The Butterfly's presence on the alien represents a capacity for change and appreciation for earthly beauty.
The cigarette is a distinctly human vice. Its inclusion is a commentary on human habits, a form of the alien trying to understand and mimic human behavior, and the potential self-destructive tendencies of humanity.
The forest symbolizes a hidden encounter and the intersection of different worlds.

Over all, My piece explorers the intersection of the natural and the extraterrestrial, and having a deeper connection than we might imagine.
It depicts an alien figure not just observing, but also interacting and even adopting aspects of the earthly environment and its inhabitants.
