Original artwork description:

Beginning with an abstract base layer of pinks, reds, and earthy neutrals on raw canvas, followed by a second canvas, which was painted with watery applications of turquoise and cyan before being unstretched and cutout into abstract botanical shapes. These shapes were affixed on top of the abstract base layer with heavy matte medium.

The cutouts are drawing inspiration from Matisse—with an eclectic remix of vintage and modern. The repeating shapes create a propeller effect, drawing the viewer deeper into the layers of the piece. The use of repetition also adds a sense of rhythm and movement to the painting, creating a dynamic sense of flow that evokes the ebb and flow of ocean currents.

Materials used:

acrylic, mixed media, spraypaint
