VIVIENNE, 2020, REPRESENTS A 

SENSE OF FREEDOM THAT I YEARN FOR 

AS I CONTINUE MY CREATIVE JOURNEY 

AS A FINE ARTIST. AT ONCE, SHE IS ANCIENT

AND MODERN, EVEN FUTURISTIC. USING ONLY

A SHADE OF BLUE AND A SHADE OF GREEN,

I WAS TEMPTED TO INTRODUCE OTHER COLORS

VIA AN ABSTRACT FLORAL BACKGROUND

BUT I RESTRAINED MYSELF. STRIPPING HER 

DOWN TO A RAW ELEGANCE. I FEEL MANY PERIODS

OF ART AS I OBSERVE HER IN MY ART STUDIO

AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE INFLUENCE OF 

CEZANNE, PICASSO, BRAQUE, BEARDEN,

MODIGLIANI AND THEN FAUVISIM THROUGH

THE EYES OF MATISSE. I LOVE THE IMPERFECTIONS

THAT AT FIRST I WAS GOING TO INTERMIX WITH

THE ABSTRACTIONS OF THE FLORALS. AS IT BE,

THEY GIVE A SENSE OF ME "CREATING" 

THE ARTWORK, I WANT THE VIEWER TO FEEL THAT.

I AM FORGING FORWARD IN 2020 AND SOME MAY 

HAVE NOTICED, I AM ENTERING A NEW PERIOD

OF MY ART AND I DON'T WANT TO PIGEONHOLE IT,

BECAUSE I AM EXPLORING AND I AM HAVING A 

GREAT TIME. ITS A BEAUTIFUL THING. - MK/ARTIST
