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.
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.
Work in progress, part of the series Changes.

Emerging as a center of cultural discourse, this creation charms with its complex arrangement of lozenge shapes cascading from warm caramel into cool olive tones. The repeating patterns reflect motifs often found in decorative designs, while the rich violet overlay disrupts and tantalizes the viewer’s perception. This delicate arrangement of color and form aligns with themes of continuity and change, suggesting broader societal narratives. How might this fusion of textures and hues prompt a new lens through which to view the world? This piece encourages consideration of the blend of tradition and modernity, portraying the essence of transformation within a structured cosmos.
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 was selected by ADC Fine Art in Cincinnati, Ohio for their up coming Radiance Exhibition!!!
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?” “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.
