Untitled Aerial Battle From the Sky Viewed by the Skulls of the Heavens, Part 3

Battle formations are at the heart of my drawings and give rise and identity to the structures and chaos of the world at play around us and present the constant forms of masters of old style formats.

Viewing the pieces you can see millions of figures moving in space and interacting to the surrounding dynamics of a war unfolding in the landscape portrait.

There are also catastrophic atmospheres that build from the skulls of the various figures that form in the foreground of the overall piece. Looking at the landscape painting from the left side you see the giant shapes of heads/skulls that extend to the right of the piece.

Untitled Mondo- Traversing the Galaxy

Shape and gestures form to construct an interplay of thoughts that feature bodies and people in space. They form an overall abstract dynamic that place dominance on the creatures within us all.

Untitled Mondo- The Mind of Buddha and Cosmic Orbits

Shading and white space play a major roll in this piece/work to illustrate the historical forms of my education. From character studies, to painting illustrations, to medical drawings and the gore of the NEWS media coverage of wars and conflicts. Current events interest me.

This piece is not ment to be specifically political but plays with the ideas and notions present in the constant struggle of mankind to understand the forces that flow through and around us. The figure of the head in the upper left corner isn't looking at the bricks- the piece is photographed on the bricks just for the purposes of capturing the natural light. The figure is staring off into the space that shapes us all. I prefer a white wall but wanted the effect of seeing the piece outside. I prefer a canvas to graffiti.

Shape, form and gestures construct an interplay of thoughts that feature bodies and people in space. They form an overall abstract dynamic that place dominance on the creatures within us all.

Untitled Aerial Battle From the Sky Viewed by the Skulls of the Heavens Part 9

A historical narrative painting mixed with various elements of gray tones presenting and bringing across various moments of light and organic structures. The movement of figures that I knew in my youth and in past lives come across as conjoined figures that resemble the faces of ancient gods.

The abstract nature of this work hides faces in conversation with millions of heads in movement, as if to hint to people at war or people in the moments of building/constructing a landscape around themselves.

There are also alien heads (what we consider alien) and forms that relate to the anatomy of science and elements that form them.

Untitled Mondo- (Mountain Ranges) European Adventure in the Alps While Dancing in Nature

Mountains are the focus of this art work. The conjoining heads that move about the surface ground of the areas present old master drawings burned into my skull from youth through now.

I sharp black lines give way to the notions and ideas of shooting stars that cross the night sky. Or if you're lucky, the early morning sky, as shooting stars have been known to be present all the time just not to the naked eye.

The human eye is a machine that burns.
