Recent Finished Paintings

Description of one of the paintings:

A cascade of geometric forms unfolds across the surface, as squares in shades ranging from deep magenta to bright saffron create a compelling gradient. This composition encourages observers to explore the relationship of color and shape, reflecting abstract expressionism’s hallmark exploration of form. The textured field, subtly shifting its hue, forms a basis for the playful distribution of squares, each with a distinctive hue and size, creating an elaborate arrangement. What narratives will future viewers uncover within this convergence of elements? This work exemplifies the pursuit of visual complexity and the endless possibilities of abstraction.

I wonder which piece this is describing?

“Changes IX”

It was initially inspired by the observance of a utility van with a business signed pasted to the door. As I observed the sign I noticed that it had worn out with the original words and image faded. My mind was taken to the initial time when the sign had been placed on the vehicle and along with the dreams of the owner looking to fulfill them through his business. The condition of the sign was showing the wear of years of pushing to fulfill the goals, dreams and aspirations of self employment along with the freedom and also the responsibilities and burdens that it brings.

This train of thoughts took me to my own life situations and those that many of us passing through this amazing thing called life go through. With these thoughts I set out to work on a series of pieces that would express this concept of starting with dreams and either seeing them fulfill or come to naught.

Below is a short video showing the finished painting. Also here is a link to other finished similar pieces.

“Sunflowers and Purple Skies” inspired by van Gogh

A serene relationship between nature and abstraction emerges through gentle lavender hues transitioning into a field of concentric circles. This combination conveys the tranquility of a lavender sky meeting the ground while diverging into a realm of imagination with intricate circular impressions. The voice of the creator resonates in the choice of colors, crafting a tranquil, introspective space that melds sky and earth. The use of yellow and purple reflects a thoughtful study in contrasts, while the elaborate details suggest a deeper exploration of patterns in nature. Ultimately, these combined elements offer a calming, yet stimulating visual experience, inviting the viewer into a space of inquiry and wonder.

Death Never Stops

A fish constructed from bold colors and transparent skeletal form defies expectations while revealing unity. Where rich purple bones encounter the bright orange body, two aspects converge. On the left, muted blues and soft textures suggest a layered quality, while the right introduces structured polka dots against a lighter blue, conveying playfulness and order. Light and color merge effectively, with shadows and highlights enhancing contrast. As future viewers experience this contrast, will they perceive a metaphor for transformation or a playful exploration of form and color? This depiction invites ongoing discoveries and connections.

A continuation of the series of Changes, this piece is titled Death Never Stops refereeing to how all living beings will eventually face death. There is no place to run or hide from Death.
