This painting is about the the night and the way shadows and light create a very different world both visually and emotionally. I realized that not just me, but so many artists make their art at night and I wanted to capture that feeling. At night especially really late at night, things are more quiet and your mind is in that in between state of awake and dream state. I am also curious about how light from a single source at night looks. How shadows on a face are much more dramatic. I wanted to capture the quiet, contemplative and emotional feelings from the dark loneliness of night.

Making art has always been a therapeutic practice for me. A lot of my inspiration comes from my life experience and other artists. Lately I have been interested in oppositions, contrasts and juxtapositions of images.
