Enlightenment

Step into a realm where the boundaries between the earthly and the infinite dissolve before your eyes. In this captivating 30”x40” acrylic masterpiece, a solitary woman stands poised before a glowing portal—a gateway to both mystery and revelation. Her dress, flowing and patterned like the expansive night sky, mirrors the celestial wonder that surrounds her. Above her, an umbrella burns with an almost mystical intensity, its flames serving as a symbol of illumination, transformation, and the perpetual act of questioning what lies beyond the familiar.

Every element in “Enlightenment” is meticulously designed to evoke both awe and introspection. The burning umbrella, far from a mere object, challenges the conventions of the everyday, suggesting that even the most mundane aspects of life can be catalysts for profound change. The glowing portal not only invites the viewer to look deeper into the painting’s layered narrative but also acts as a metaphor for the journeys we all undertake in search of knowledge and self-discovery. The vast, starlit sky above creates a reflective surface—a mirror of our inner universe—beckoning us to explore the uncharted territories of our own consciousness.

This piece is an exploration of the connection between humanity and the infinite. With each brushstroke, the artist captures the delicate balance between darkness and light, uncertainty and clarity. The work speaks to the transformative power of art, drawing the viewer into a dialogue about the nature of existence and the ever-present potential for renewal. Whether interpreted as a personal odyssey or a cosmic commentary, “Enlightenment” offers a visual narrative that resonates on both an emotional and intellectual level.

Exploring the Digital Canvas: A Journey from Fauve Colors to iPad Art

The Defining Tree

Many artists are embracing the world of digital art, finding Wacom tablets and iPads to be powerful tools for creating visually stunning pieces with compelling aesthetics and concepts.

In my case, I come from a background in traditional art, complemented by years of experience in graphic design and website development using software tools. My exploration into the digital realm began during my Graduate thesis for my MFA. In this research, I proposed that the vibrant and bold colors used by Fauve artists over a century ago could find resonance with today’s audience.

The Fauvists were known for employing bright colors with high saturation, and I theorized that the contemporary shift in the perception of color is influenced by our exposure to screens, from TVs and monitors to smartphones. This transition represents a move from the traditional subtractive color model in art to the additive color model prevalent in digital displays.

My latest artworks, created using an iPad with Procreate, mark a full circle from my Graduate school days. I now produce paintings based on the additive color model, employing a subtractive color delivery method through prints to share my creations with a broader audience.

Defining Tree: One of my initial forays into digital art, this piece signifies a convergence of my artistic journey. You can explore and purchase this artwork in various formats here.

Benefits of Exploring Digital Art:

  • Versatility: Wacom tablets and iPads offer a versatile canvas for artistic expression.
  • Color Evolution: Explore the paradigm shift from subtractive to additive color models in contemporary art.
  • Accessibility: Digital art allows for easy sharing and reproduction through various mediums.
