Most people believe that darkness is evil or sinister, but I believe that darkness adds contrast. Think of life without contrast, what is white without black. What if there was a perpetual sun and no moon. Do we stay up working 24 hours as long as there is sunlight? No we need the darkness of night.

As an artist, I cannot paint a picture without black pigment, the darkness. Let’s face it, even while living in this world, darkness is the diversity that is necessary for balance.

Embrace the darkness and we can grow stronger to overcome our prejudices that is tearing this world apart. Light and darkness, white and black, truth and lies. We are the people of beautiful darkness.
