Artist Statement

“My art is primarily concerned with themes of melancholy as an existential state resulting from a deep personal awareness of the mutability of life and the inexorable cycle of creation and destruction. Employing the human figure as the agent of expression, I paint not to emulate the appearance of reality, but rather to communicate my aesthetic emotional response to the physical and intellectual condition of being alive.” – Jacob Shriner
