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…

My latest Piece from the Series Changes.

Changes XV

How do color and form shape our awareness of space? This artwork investigates spatial dynamics through its bold application of color and geometric patterns. The ascending arrangement of purple ovals against a warm orange backdrop creates an impression of movement and depth. Each shape seems to rise from the base, signifying an expanding horizon. The texture and repetition prompt viewers into a distinct exploration of spatial relationships, inviting thoughts on order and chaos. This piece challenges our understanding of dimensionality and inspires considerations on how art can influence our perception of space and form.

Another piece of the Changes Series. There will be a total of 20 in the series with similar dimensions.

Work in Progress: Changes.

Still a bit to go. 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 part of the process. 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.
