Part of artistic creative expression is developing your own personal visual language. It's an interesting way to approach art,  to think of it in terms of language or voice. What do I want to say? And how do I want to say it? Do I want to use flowery language, lots of descriptors, is it more poetic or technical in nature? Do I want to get right to the point? Meat and potatoes or caviar and champaign? Is it an optimistic voice? Is it comedic or serious? Is there satire?
<span;>The framework of my language is based heavily on composition, bright colours, and the enigmatic expressions on multi faced characters that are purposefully left open entirely to interpretation. Some things to consider are: the orientation of the canvas, the placement of objects, the use of space on the page, repetition in colours, and shapes. And there are still more ideas I think about while creating my own visual language that enter a psychological realm of study, I have my own set of visual "rules" for example, that I might think about in the same way you might think about the use verbs, nouns, avdverbs, past present and future tenses of words. And these are a basic thread to tie all the artworks together in this series. It's a much different experience to create a visual language "out of thin air" than it is to say take a picture of something or work from reference images. There are no reference images, I'm creating the reference image from imagination.
