oil on panel . c2012.
uf. 30in. x 20in. ±45.7cm. x 30.5cm.
"Like Child, Like Man portrays the artist's own awareness to his disorderly ways of thought. Three red horses are the metaphor for three minds in one. The leopard is the fight, the fight to keep them in order. A man, a child, flank the painting with a decision of intellect. Which is more wise; the mind of a child or the mind of an adult?

Ingénue was partly inspired by a sculpture at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The body; derived from a sculpture, had the pose of something relatable. The head-dress and concealed crest was from imagination. Tim Cantor tells a hidden scene in this painting. One of an undefined infatuation, that one can sense their own through.
