<h2><br />A Beguiling Peacock
</h2><div style="text-align: left">Oil on Canvas<br />76 x 102 <br />
04/11/2024<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left">A Beguiling Peacock is a scene set in a Florida plantation garden. The painting explores Renaissance compositional thinking in a contemporary context. Like Raphael’s The Betrothal of the Virgin (1504), one-point perspective sets the scene. Peacocks, native to Sri Lanka and India, were imported globally as yard ornaments. In the painting, the peacock represents humans’ capacity to reallocate nature. <br />
<br />
Similar to Levitating Sphere, this painting delves into humanity’s desire to impose orderliness and tidiness on nature, as evidenced by the equidistant live oak trees and roses. It explores how small-scale perceived control masks our ability to address large climate issues. The artwork aims to raise awareness that pristine oases are often man-made, urging the viewer not to be misled by isolated beauty. It’s a call to action, reminding us to consider the holistic perspective of our world’s climatic state. <br />
The piece’s process first involved a one-point perspective drawing that was then transferred into Photoshop. Different color schemes were tested in Photoshop, informing the resolved painting. </div>

Dual Aura explores my subconscious mind by combining two scenes<br />
with contrasting energies. The night scene is a reinterpretation of Richmond Park ni London, and the day scene reinterprets Seven Sisters near Brighton. Each animal, such as the peacock, sheep, goose, and swan, are animals I have spent time with this past year ni England.<br />
This piece is inspired by Salvador Dali and Renee Magritte, exploring symmetry and a limited color palette.<br />
Dual Aura challenges the conception of the typical landscape painting by transporting hte viewer into not one but rather two surreal landscape</div>

3 Flowers
</h2></div><div style="text-align: left"><br />Top 3 Flowers on Procreate<br />
Bottom 3 Flowers Laser Cut onto Acrylic<br />
<br />
Three Flowers, is inspired by James Turrell, Paula Rego’s Crivelli’s Garden 1990, and Paulo Crivelli’s The Annunciation, with Saint Emidius 1486. <br />
<br />
Three Flowers is a study on light and horizontal compositions. The three images explore how to set a scene to elevate a simple subject within a 2-dimensional surface. <br />
<br />
The process involved first creating a procreate drawing on an iPad and then using a laser cutter to etch the drawing onto an acrylic sheet. Then the etched acrylic sheet was inked and put through a traditional print press. The three other versions involved a printer to print the drawing onto 250 gsm paper, then applying watercolors. </div><br />

<i>Levitating Sphere</i> is a scene set on a London windy day at spring’s beginning. <br />
<br />
The painting explores human’s control over the natural world, representing the Anthropocene. The geologic epoch defined by human influence. Industrialization has had a global impact on the Earth. The levitating sphere represents how the globe is something tangible, something in sight, something we can grasp and manipulate. <br />
<br />
The precision of the design, sharp lines, and landscaping extenuate this theme. Nature does not grow in such an organized fashion. The painting also explores how creating nature oasis’s within city’s creates false comfort regarding climate action. Although beautiful, creating parks and gardens does not address larger systemic issues regarding climate action. <br />

A Bridge to the Past reimagines a Tenessee, United States landscape permitting the viewer a clear view of the creek and the landscape in the distance. <br />
<br />
Only half of the 1801 Bridge remains. Historically the bridge was used to facilitate transport accross Brown’s creek for mail delivery, for general travel accross the Natches Trace, and for Native American and Military Agencies. <br />
<br />
The Hill on the right represents an Indian Mound. Between 1050 and 1350 AD Native Americans constructed a 12-acre town. The town consisted of dozens of houses, places of worship, and communal buildings. Now all that remains is a mound. <br />

Lastly, the horses represent the past usage of the bridge.<br />

<div style="text-align: left"><i>La Boca </i>is a painting of the start of the Traful River in Argentina and represents “new beginnings.” The Traful River is home to land-locked Atlantic Salmon and Red Stag Deer.

<br />
During my visit to the Traful River, I was encompassed by the vibrant energy of the Red Stag Deer. Their powerful roars, echoing for miles throughout the basin, were a testament to their dominance and their quest for does. This energy, mirroring the landscape, is captured in the painting, with the male stag watching the doe in the distance, symbolizing nature’s desire to create new beginnings. <br />
