This oil pastel gradient, with lush turquoise and warm sienna melding into one, was created around the time of a Lunar eclipse. As someone who traveled to see the solar eclipse of 2024 in totality, the events of the skies continue to capture my interest. I watched the lunar eclipse from my balcony and it was like a small bite was taken out of the moon, a surreal sight I appreciated experiencing. The orangeish copper-tones and teals meet towards the middle of this page as if the earth overlapping the moon. I love creating oil pastel gradients, smoothing the creamy sticks of pigment across the honey-comb textured paper and being fully immersed in my present surroundings. I love selecting interesting colors to combine that bring me delight.

STATEMENT
The landscape paintings were born from my lengthy travels, with patterns inspired by the tapestries of the cultures inhabiting the landscapes depicted. Studying the weavings and rugs I reference continually teaches me about the many layers of symbolism behind the shapes, colors, and repetition in patterns. The gradients, oil pastel drawings come entirely from within, capturing fleeting moments and are entirely emotion-based. With them, I seek to aesthetically soothe the anxiety we can all experience, and provide a moment of calm to rest ones eyes. The portraits of my friends, and fellow artists Samah and Aya are an ongoing series dedicated to celebrating various people in my life and their cultural backgrounds. I'm happy to accept portrait commissions, reach out for further info.
