DAY 2- "Waters"

MATERIALS AND PROCESS

This abstract piece, titled "Waters," is a personal exploration of the creation of water--the concept inspired by the idea of the divine act of pouring from an endless pot. Created with precision and detail over several weeks, the painting showcases 12k gold leaf applied over molding paste and plaster, carefully shaped to resemble the fluidity and movement of water and waves. A protective layer of resin is applied on top, enhancing the "wet" effect and preserving the intricate details beneath. The figure is painted over top the final layer resin traditionally, with oil paint. Measuring 32x43 inches, the artwork is created on a high-quality birch wood panel, and comes custom framed and ready to hang.

MEANING:

Art has this beautiful way of telling us that we matter. When we recognize elements of our own lives and identities in artwork, it’s like finding a piece of home—it comforts us and boosts our self-esteem. 

Art should act as a mirror, reflecting our stories and  fostering empathy and curiosity across all backgrounds. Through my “Days of Creation” series I aim to demonstrate that art is not just for observation—it’s a dynamic tool for dialogue. This series is meant to reimagine traditional biblical narratives in an abstract way—embracing a variety of interpretations and spiritualities. 

Every piece is created with the highest quality materials, ensuring that the art not only captivates but endures. This commitment extends from the canvas, paint, resin and gold leaf I choose, all selected to reflect the depth and sincerity of my message.

Having diverse art within our personal proximity, dismantles barriers and cultivates feelings of  empathy and interconnectedness. As I share each "day," with you, my hope is to illuminate hearts and minds—fostering a deeper, shared collective appreciation for the complex beauty of creation.
