Work in progress, part of the series Changes.
Changes IV
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.
Blessed Be, title of my latest work. It is made of three 12″x16″ acrylic on canvas panels.
A captivating underwater scene unfolds through a mix of deep purples and blues, reminiscent of a dreamlike oceanic expanse. Golden fish, adorned with bold black stripes, glide in unison amidst swirling, complex wave patterns. This composition reflects the vitality of marine life while employing designs akin to art nouveau, creating a connection between nature and creativity. 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.

Florida Bay Night Sky
The image shows a creatively divided painting with an upper scene of a purple night sky, populated by stars of yellow, orange, pink, and blue hues, as well as a predominant yellow moon located towards the upper left. Below, a contrasting scene presents a green field resembling an undersea environment, where a linear formation of silver tarpons swims from the left to the right side of the painting. The fish feature purple green bodies with silver scales, and their fins and tails are tipped with bright orange and blue, respectively, adding to the whimsical nature of the artwork.
