Artist Statement
Epitome of Performance
This body of work demonstrates the beauty in the evolution of Porsche models, represented through a series of car paintings along with implications of Formula 1 Racing. Each piece invites viewers to appreciate the intricate details of Porsche’s vehicles while bringing light to their performance as one of the most well-known luxury car brands in the industry. As far as Formula 1, this element brings appreciation to speed and elevates knowledge of the sport. The contrast of slow, intricate brush strokes depicting the high-speed nature of cars and racing, creates a beautiful tension that enhances the perception of cars and racing.
These paintings communicate the connection between the artist and the world of cars and racing. This work also embodies the artist’s personal childhood memories of cars, not just the body of the car, but the mechanics as well.
Ultimately, this series represents more than just the cars themselves; it invites viewers to see them more than just a way of transportation but as an art form. This body of work slows down the viewer to appreciate craftsmanship and engineering while embodying the epitome of performance.
