"The human image is central in my work. These figures and faces come mostly from my imagination and are the result of years of effort - a careful honing, by trial and error, to get a specific effect. I would like for these paintings to go beyond the image, to involve the viewer in a pure way. I hope these people confront the public as if they were real people. This sense of dramatic presence is what I always work toward." –Warren Dennis
