Rocky Hawkins Artist Statement
My paintings are about expressing a visual experience that challenges and communicates with a sense of mystery. Mystery is a human trait and curious characteristic where not everything is easily explainable. In my most recent work I am exploring my fascination with myth and legend in the human form. Depictions of spiritual entities such as Totemic Figures, Shamans, Chieftains, Priestesses, Pathfinders, Wizards, Centaurs, Goddesses, Sorcerers & Heroes are what currently has my attention. Ancient writings, oral histories, art depictions, myths and

legends tell us that the presence and belief in these beings played an integral role in the development and organization of early societies. The ties to nature were woven in everyday existence and beliefs. Each painting I journey beyond, where getting lost becomes the answer to which direction to take... and in there I walk alone, only understanding a consciousness that lets me paint with expression and contentment. It is for that feeling I paint. A oneness with myself in peace, I am me...now!
“Utilizing fervent use of color, composition and texture with indelible mystery and intrigue, Rocky’s art arrests the eye, fascinates the mind and exhilarates the soul. Observations become journeys, which become passage; living with his artwork is akin to being a medium visiting vanished or unimaginable worlds.” Dean Munn, Altamira Fine Art Gallery Manager
