Kent, A

My artwork is a variety of pieces all united by a common theme. As an artist, I have tried to focus upon scenes and scenarios that are unique and interesting. Such a scene may depict an everyday scenario, such as the reflection of a room in a coffee pot, or it may have a more mysterious turn in the depiction of a haunted house or forest. I have chosen such themes for my artwork because I want people to look at them and to feel interested and intrigued, but also to relate to them in some way. I want them to look at them and step into my head and my mindset for a little while; to see the world the way I do for the few minutes they look at my artwork. I drew a haunted forest with a lone wolf in the foreground because I wanted to communicate that I knew what it was to wander through that dark forest and I knew what it felt like to be that lone wolf. I wanted to depict that scene to show that it is alright to be different and misunderstood and that even the darkest forest (or experience) can be beautiful in some way. My methodology in choosing all of the pieces for my portfolio was simple: I chose the pieces that mean the most to me and that best show my artistic vision and style. These pieces mean a lot to me because they all originated from me. Most of them were inspired by different thoughts and daydreams I had had and they are all based upon themes that I think special and important. That’s what art is to me though; it is a way to make my own reality and to express myself in my own way. Art has always been an important outlet to me and it will continue to be one for the rest of my life. ||
