Changes XVII: Summer’s End

Golden tendrils weave through a rich purple expanse, crafting a narrative that resonates with the mysteries of a forgotten forest. This piece calls viewers to a realm where each swirl and leaf flutters between the realms of reality and dream. The manipulation of space is engaging, as the golden vines cascade downward, meeting a lower world of softly scattered shapes, suggesting an organic connection between above and below. It's as if the  artwork itself breathes, with each component finding its place in the delicate balance of nature. Does this composition reflect the unseen connections within us, inviting an exploration of our own roots and branches?

Changes XVI: Life Is But A Vapour.

New work in progress.

New work in progress, part of the series Changes. The series was started back in early 2025. It will consist of 20 pieces of similar size: 18×24 or 20×24. At this moment I’m down to 4 pieces to complete the series.
Changes comes from an initial inspiration I had about how our life might start out with many goals and dreams of success, fame, riches or even a simple life style. With time some of us achieve many of the goals while others might not. But is about the process, the journey which we strive in. Back in 1993 I embarked on a second set of goals and dreams. While in the first part of my life my main goal was to achieve fame and wealth. That change in 93’ drew me to see life differently and to reevaluate my dreams and goals. Thanks to God my life turned for the best once I let the Lord be my dream, my goal and my guide. To be continued…

“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.
