Instinct | by David Wooten

I enjoy working in a detailed style with complex imagery creating an environment for exploration and discovery. The subjects and scenarios are analogies of my perception of life situations. I illustrate a common thread that extends through the history of all cultures; it is the need to define how we fit into the process of life and how we invent ways to control our destiny. 

In the painting Forest Dilemma the human need to express individuality is balanced with the need to secure the first steps towards a cohesive social structure and insure survival.
