Messterpiece

Somewhere along the line, my paintings became ‘messterpieces’. I paint when I need to get a physical emotion out of my body. The emotions come quickly, and are thrown onto the canvas with active brushes and colors I mixed together quickly, on a whim, and without being tested. For a long time, I didn’t know why I needed to paint, only that I needed it. Each painting was an art piece that was very much physical energy forced out of me.

​

Before I began creating messterpieces out of these forces that propelled paint onto a canvas, I used to filter my anger into cleaning my apartment. Now, I’m much better at keeping the apartment clean, and without the need to filter those types of emotions into it. 

​

The messterpieces became where I flung my rage, just as I fling paint onto what I’m painting. Active energy takes me over, and something that should take three hours ends up taking a half an hour. It depends on how angry I am, and how much pain my body is holding onto. 

​

It’s what makes these paintings, ‘messterpieces’. 

​

The how is just as important as the what.

​

I never knew before why I needed to paint, and now I do. And, because of that, there is a gallery full of messterpieces that will hopefully find you discovering a way to fling emotions into art, no matter what that art may be.

​

Everyone is different.

Let my messterpieces inspire you.
