All living things move in flocks. Understanding the migration patterns of living things, can teach us just as much about our selves, as it can about the herds we ride with, evolve from and transform into.
"The Unresolved Chord is a deconstructed abstraction of what I hear when a guitar chord or progression is played. Like a chord that is unresolved or has not completed its loop, each of the 20 layers in this painting only go three-quarters around the canvas, then stop. When you look at the piece, your eye subconsciously catches the next layer, and your eye continues around the entirety of the piece, providing a powerful continuity in movement and texture. The observer gets a multi-sensory experience that transcends the visual and taps into deeper layers of our mind."

"Among the first biblical figures to emerge, Zara is the deliberately gender-neutral reference used in this piece. More commonly known as Zoroaster, he lived in the time of the Buddha and espoused two important tenants of human connection: the power of truth, and the power of free will. Free Will is a fragile gift requiring careful balance and centering, just as Zara is often depicted as floating through the ether, as he is here. The forces of truth over deception are the counter-forces the swirl around him, like one in a meditative balance in the high of a hurricane."

"The strongest family tree seamlessly connects the earth to the sky. Drawing from grounded wisdom, while reaching high into the sky for new breath, this tree is composed of two halves, each balancing and supporting the other. The taller tree sways more in the wind, and relies on the balance provided by its branches that wrap itself around the world. This painting is composed of 34 layers, each layer representing the journey of a seed from dry earth, to fertile land, to bloom, and finally into balance.."

The Wall II
"Between the bricks that serve as a monument at the intersections of nations, cultures and histories, we see the flesh and hopes of everyone touched to be rising toward the heavens."

"The strongest family tree seamlessly connects the earth to the sky. Drawing from grounded wisdom, while reaching high into the sky for new breath, this tree is composed of two halves, each balancing and supporting the other. The taller tree sways more in the wind, and relies on the balance provided by its branches that wrap itself around the world. This painting is composed of 12 layers, each layer representing the journey of a seed from dry earth, to fertile land, to bloom, and finally into balance."

The Southern Torch
Collection of Mr. Aby Rosen & The Gramercy Park Hotel, NYC.
"This painting is an abstraction of the view from the south side of the Terrace view from the Gramercy Park at sunset. Looking south, the sun is in the sky longer, leaving a rich series of pinks and light hues in the sky as the sun sets. The view to the south is also a perfectly balanced contrast with the northern view, with the village and many shorter buildings fielding the landscape with the horizontal lines capturing the fixed neighborhood feel. What might be most remarkable, is that fact that just before Sunset every evening, the angle of the sun, causes the Freedom Tower to light up like a Golden Torch, that is the perfect view from the roof the Gramercy Park."

"We are the kings and queens of our own Jungles. The Gorilla sees the sun cut through the tree tops, and blends life from its pure greens down to the forest floor where Ants and Apes alike are all apart of the layered circle of life — a never ending cycle of carbon, water, dirt and air. We are all animals in our own jungles, whether jungles of trees or concrete, and we all fight to survive and thrive."

"We are greater than the sum of our parts. As each layer of a relationship builds on the layer beneath, we create a dynamic that are the peaks and valleys that form the texture of love. At our peaks in time, we teniously reach higher than we thought we could before. At our ebb, we are not lower but relaxed, pondering the next peak, without losing sight of our original intent. Each layer of the painting is derived from a memory through interviews of the subjects -- what was learned through this process over 20 layers, is that in the joining of parts between two systems, is that we reflect the way we love ourselves by the way we love our other, and the strongest balances are forged in mutual admiration."

The end point in the journey where all energy converges to, the pillars of our lives hold together a fragile balance.
Before energies, ideas and peoples can converge, there is often a period of separation and distance before synthesis.
All events that come to rest start in a place of chaos, without the end in sight. All the elements are separate and waiting to interact, and react.

The most important lesson in life, is the same as the most important lesson of kites: it’s not about how you fly, it’s about how you get back in the air after touching the ground. The painting is 16 layers, with the base layer drawn in fountain pen and wax, with another layer of clouds finished with a layer of light.
"Between the forces the push and pull, a light cuts through the storm."

"We can step outside the food chain, but we can never break it. The balance formed by the cycle of life and carbon that turn black into green, green into red, then red back to black. But over the many layers of this process, we do not see just dirt, bloom and blood, but rather the ecosystem whose beauty goes beyond the short memory of its violence."

"A symphony is an army. With layers of tactics and elements that strategically grip us, leaving us bewildered, exhilarated, and wiser. The layers of this painting are based on the layers that form the unfolding of a song, settled, then rising, settled then rising."

The Northern Lights
Collection of Mr. Aby Rosen & The Gramercy Park Hotel, NYC.
"This painting is an abstraction of the north side of the Terrace view from the Gramercy Park at sunset. The tilted angle of Manhattan means that the North side of the terrace sees a quicker darkening of the sky, bringing to light rich purples and blues that dominate the sky. The skyline is also a perfect contrast to the southern view, with the northern view capturing Midtown and high-rises continuously constructing and evolving. The vertical lines in this painting represent the construction columns, and the gold that illuminates the different windows show the surrounding neighborhood coming to life at night."
36 x 24 inches. Watercolor, Spray, and Acrylic Paints on Canvas.
Zara II (Bird of Spirit)
"The imprint of spiritual teaching is in much of life. Zara is a deliberate gender-neutral name of these teachings and their teacher "Zoroaster", as to say that men and women are equal in all including credit for the spiritual foundations of society. And just like all historic events, like the celebration of today, the faint wings Zara is riding stretch an ocean and thousands of years."
