Against the light, on a balcony outside a museum in Florence, a young woman seeks to capture the moment and is herself captured. Painting “Snapshot” involved an exploration of balance. The ten inch square surface captures the intersection of the very dark and the very light, a human figure and constructed geometries. In painting it, I tried to keep a balance between, on the one hand, the serious study of light effects and composition, and on the other hand a lightness and economy of touch.
