BACKS
ARTIST STATEMENT
I painted this series of backs to represent an idea I got from reading Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, my favorite authors on existentialism. I wanted to turn my back on the ancient and obsolete philosophies that relied on the “essence” of things. Existentialism freed me from having the absurd essence of a housewife, a mother, a woman; all with the limits men imposed on us throughout millennia.
Becoming an existentialist is not as easy as it seems, as you must reinvent your existence to suit your individual needs within a society. The morality of existentialism is poured into the individual and creates a society of humans that need to choose being good.
After this series of backs, painting also became freer for me. I paint what I like, but this is not always the best route for success as it seems dealers and collectors want to see the same painting over and over. I have painted many backs and have sold many throughout the years, but I have continued on to other subjects.
These backs hold for me the idea that you must turn and go forth, especially in philosophical terms, which bind all our actions, creations and emotions.
