Eyes

" Love to his soul gave eyes; he knew things are not as they seem. The dream is his real life; the world around him is the dream." - Michel de Montaigne

I find that a person's most truthful and beautiful quality is in their eyes. An individual's eyes tell their entire story: where they've been, what they've experienced, how they see the world, and who they truly are. I find that I can usually tell immediately who a person is the second I make eye contact with them - from close friends, to strangers on the street. I always wonder what it is that makes it so obvious and clear, and I find myself painting and drawing eyes to recreate that honesty. For some reason, it never completely translates to paper, but I have made it my goal to try to really focus on that aspect in my artwork.
I want to use art to try to compliment what I see in my daily life, and express those emotions honestly through different mediums. We'll see how it goes, and where this work takes me.

This is the beginning.
