Somewhere in Time. True Love Time. 2018-2019, oil on canvas, 48" x 36." Art Dex third prize winner. The painting's title was inspired by the movie "Somewhere in Time," which is based on a love story between two people that might be from two different time periods. The painting depicts two figures that are connected to one another. Something visceral is transpiring between them. Their inner organs (hearts and anatomy) are distorted, enlarged, and in movement. They seem to be growing and disintegrating at the same time. The painting was also inspired by the Robert Frost poem "The Road not Taken." Behind the two figures is a landscape with two different roads or paths that come together and diverge, alluding to choices that one must make in one's lifetime.
