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.

Changes III

A cascade of geometric shapes seemingly drift from the top, transitioning from turquoise to a warm golden hue. The careful arrangement of these squares creates a gradient effect against a rich maroon backdrop, suggesting gradual transformation. Viewers may question the tension and balance within this structured chaos, as it defies typical symmetrical order. This composition challenges perceptions, allowing for an appraisal of both its precision and disorder. The result is a visually tactile experience, where a relationship of color and form gently unfolds, enveloping observers in the complexity of its design.

Changes II

Rows of methodically placed ovals transform as they cascade downward, subtly fading into a sea of diminishing dots. This structured gradient, shifting from deep darkness to soft tones of white, highlights the careful arrangement between order and unpredictability. The contrast between uniform shapes at the top and scattered points below addresses the evolution of cultural dynamics, prompting viewers to consider conformity versus freedom. It presents a compelling portrayal of societal constructs, urging deeper thought about the gradual blending of stability with spontaneity. Such nuanced commentary on cultural patterns offers an insightful conclusion, advocating for a deeper understanding of modern life.

“Changes”

Changes

One of the many pieces that I will create with the theme of life and the changes that it brings as we become older and hopefully more wiser. Below is what an A.I. software “sees” in the image. Some of it relates while some doesn’t relate to the thought behind the piece. Interesting that as an artist we focused on possibly looking for a reaction from the audience and along comes a electronic system {AI software} and it also has a reaction to our work.

Emerging from a complex arrangement of circles, this work reflects the interconnectedness of contemporary society through its repetitive patterns and shifting colors. The upper section features strong shades of orange and purple, gradually transitioning into softer lilacs, creating a feeling of movement and change. Each ring, varied in size and hue, symbolizes the complexity of social structures, offering a commentary on human interactions. Its rhythmic arrangement could inspire new perspectives on unity and individuality. An engaging exploration of forms and colors, this piece encourages thought about social dynamics through its detailed design.

Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?

“Are you blind that you can’t see the difference?” “Estas ciego que no puedes ver la diferencia?”

This piece was inspired by an episode of Star Trek that I saw back in the 1970s. The episode is The Last Battlefield S3 #15.  It dealt with a planet in which the citizens had been at war with each other for thousands of years. The difference apparently was which side of the face was black and which was white.  This show left a lasting impression on me.  And here we are more than 50 years later and it seems that nothing has changed.  We as a nation seem to still be in conflict with each other and any new immigrants. 

The painting is trying to bring attention, as the show that inspired it to how much we are alike and deep down we are all looking and dreaming the same things.  Only superficial differences is what makes us feel we are different.

The playful contrast of precise fish forms against the fluid, undulating currents fosters a well-arranged setting that invites personal thought. Consider how the rich contrast of colors and patterns might intertwine with one's own experiences, prompting insight into the relationship between the natural world and creative expression.
