Memento Mori

8" x 10"

Prismacolor Colored Pencils on 300lb Hot-Pressed Watercolor Paper

This artwork is SOLD.

This is a highly-detailed, vibrantly colored piece inspired by Mexico's Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. I combined the simplified black outline of a skull with my usual funky abstract style to create an artwork that is vivid, boisterous, and jubilant. The title of this piece, Memento Mori, is a Latin phrase that may be translated as "Remember that you are mortal," "Remember you will die," or "Remember your death". I like the paradoxical juxtaposition of the classic image of death and mortality - the skull - portrayed amidst colorful abstract forms and intricate designs, which express the fullness and joy of life. This image is bright, psychedelic, and incredibly detailed! There is a 1/2 inch border around all four edges of the artwork, to allow for easy matting and framing. This drawing is a standard size for matting and framing.

Acrylic on Wood Panel

This painting is SOLD.

This painting depicts a yummy purple-frosted cupcake, adorned with colorful sprinkles. I enjoy the process of photorealist painting, as it requires intense focus and concentration which usually leads to a rather meditative state of seeing and painting.

12" x 12" x 1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

This painting is SOLD.

The theme of this highly charged painting is the mythic concept of cosmic origins... in the form of a vibrant cosmic SPLAT! This painting is incredibly detailed; writhing with numerous colors and various designs which symbolize the endless energy and flow of spirit and matter. My abstract paintings are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. While working on paintings that are this detailed and colorful, I become so immersed in the work that applying paint becomes a meditative process through which I strive to achieve balance amidst chaos (similar to the concept of mushin). The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal. This painting continues on all four sides of the canvas, making it truly a 3-D work of art. It is designed to be hung on the wall directly without a frame!
