I am making visual puzzles of a sardonic, satirical. psychedelic, arcane nature with a psycho-social synthesis. Once solved, they reveal images conjuring familiar universal truths, found in everything from nature to music and ultimately reaching to the human condition. - Brett de Palma
People, places and things are the subjects of my art. They need no explanation in order to exist; that would be like having to explain jazz. Ideas such as these are best apprehended in experiencing the thing in all of its inexplicability, much like a person's existence.
My work is a reflection of the world filtered through myself, and as such, has no rules as pertains to ways of proceeding. Artistic freedom is introduced to enable different modes of thinking, thus advancing the cause of aesthetic evolution through diversity of expression. My goal is to open possibilities rather than restricting freedoms, not to do this as opposed to that. I am to discover and express the depth of character and thought that makes for a richer domain from which springs a more authentic view of life. - Brett de Palma
