It’s interesting to discover the different threads of influence while exploring the history behind the works that I remix.  Having never studied art history, the connection will often be visually obvious once it has been made clear.  Foppa was an elder contemporary of Da Vinci, and was likely influenced by Mantegna, who I remixed in one of my earlier works.  As a self taught artist with my own style of painting, I’m not always aware of where my artistic influences come from.  I’ve been attempting to make myself more aware of them, and can definitely identify sources that excite or lead me, but I’m curious what other influences can be seen in my work.
