Terminal Intensity #1 - Creation

Welcome to Terminal Intensity #1 It is inspired by potency, power, strength, fervency, insistence, passion and spirituality. The symbolism that few have insight to has slowly revealed themselves to me over the ten years I have been working on this piece.

My introduction to surrealism is an art form that allows me to extract deep meanings and subjects from the thoughts I have and put them into visual form. I think, I'm not sure, however this painting has always leaned towards the birth of a world and placing the elements inside the new world.

As you will see as you explore the progression/history of this work, it has changed. Some elements like the globe and the hand that is next to it have always been there. The yellow/gold floating shapes at the bottom that have the bubbles (or however you want to interpret them as) on them have been there for over ten years now.

I'm still working on Terminal Intensity. It has been a piece that is usually hanging in my home somewhere so when I pass it, I wonder how I will actually ever finish it or ever feel it is finished.

This work has inspired me to use the same colors and shapes into other pieces, Terminal Intensity #2, Terminal Intensity #3, It's Not the End of the World but I can See it From Here, and Creating Infinity. These paintings are extensions or studies for further development of this piece.

I don't believe that I will ever be finished with this series of work and will continue to explore the concepts and fervor of this inspired surrealism.
