Magenta

Artwork Tags:

I created this magenta fading to soft pink gradient on a late summers evening, as part of an exploration of many monochromatic gradients. This specific hue of pink is reminiscent of the tapestries of India and textiles of Mexico, both countries I've gathered inspiration and have been forever changed by. I love making gradients because they are an experience of total presence, a meditation and grounding into the present moment.

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.
