Empyreal Conundrum

7 cm x 7 cm (2.75" x 2.75")

Acrylic on Canvas

Display Easel Included!

This painting is SOLD.

This auction includes both this adorable mini abstract painting and its tiny wooden display easel. The theme of this highly charged painting is the mythic concept of cosmic origins. This painting is incredibly detailed for its size; 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 ready to display without a frame! This painting would look great on a bookshelf or dollhouse, making it a delightful addition to a collection of miniatures!

Simple Munificence

16" x 20" x 1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

This painting is SOLD.

This highly textured painting is part of my new Synchronal Variety series. These paintings combine decorative abstraction and meticulous photorealism in a contemporary wabi-sabi aesthetic. Wabi-sabi refers to the traditional Japanese aesthetic of appreciating things that are impermanent, imperfect, and incomplete. This ideal manifests itself in the abstract background of the piece, which is comprised of many textural layers, overlaid with delicate designs. This painting features a photorealistic depiction of a mother sheep and her lamb standing in a field of grass, before a red and pinlk decorative background. The designs at the top and bottom of the piece are done in metallic copper, gold, and silver, which has lovely reflective qualities. Close-ups are provided below. The sides of this piece are painted black, making it ready to hang without a frame!

This meticulously detailed painting depicts a colorful arrangement of marbles, an orange wrapped candy, and Tootsie Fruit Rolls. My focus with this piece was in creating a compelling composition in terms of color, as well as a dynamic interplay between opacity and translucency. 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.

This painting is a brightly colored abstract floral explosion! The style is aesthetically inspired by my keen interest in the folk arts of Mexico and India, particularly in the intensity of their color palettes and their detailed patterns. This painting combines my love for tribal art with a contemporary urban aesthetic, resulting in a fresh, vibrant abstract style that expresses the complexity and multiplicity of modern life through a youthful and jubilant perspective. The color scheme of this painting was inspired by the intricate embroidery created by the tribal Kutch people in India. Several metallic paints are used - gold, silver, copper, and turquoise - as decorative accents which reference the tiny mirrors that they embroider into their clothes and tapestries. This painting may be hung with any side facing up! The 1.5" thick edges of this painting are painted black, so this painting ready to hang directly onto the wall without a frame!

His moon boot platforms are painted with a metallic silver paint. The outer edge of the frame is painted with a groovy metallic blue. This fun, funky painting is ready to hang!

Holiday Hiatus

Hi everyone!

I hope this post find everyone happy and healthy during this holiday season.

I'm currently working on several new paintings (as per usual!) but I've decided not to post any new work until after the new year, to give myself a brief break from the computer for a couple weeks.

Check back in 2007 for some new art!

Take care... Thaneeya

This painting is SOLD.

This fun little painting depicts a photorealistically rendered Vanilla-flavored Tootsie Roll in front of an abstract background. The painting is done over top of a page from a vintage French book, titled Existentialisme. This piece explores a contemporary combination of text, abstraction and photorealism. I particularly like the juxtaposition of the aged French text with the modern pop icon of the candy, and the modernist circles underneath the photorealist object. These elements work together to create a piece that is whimsically delightful! This piece has a textured black border that runs along the edge of the painting and along the sides, making this piece ready to hang on a wall without a frame.
