“Sehnsucht ": 2nd Floor Gallery
“Much of my work is created out of an overflow of the thoughts churning in my mind as I stand before the easel with brush in hand. Musical lyrics, prayers, and books that I am reading all find their way into every brushstroke on the canvas. Those thoughts are just as much a part of a piece as the paint itself, and therefore, often find their place as titles of my paintings. “Sehnsucht” (zeen- zookt) is a series of paintings born out of spending time in the writings of one of my favorite authors, CS Lewis. Lewis explored the idea of humankind’s spiritual hunger and a shared experience described as, “sehnsucht”, a German word used by many poets and writers of the Romantic era to describe a profound, yet fleeting longing for something we can’t explain, but know that it is beyond anything we will find in this world…
“These [the beauty of art, music, nature] are a scent of a flower we have not yet found, the echo of a tune we have not yet heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.“ - CS Lewis
