Night Sky Nebula Artwork

For the artwork Night Sky Nebula, I was inspired to create a nebula-like atmosphere of different hues that told a story of connecting the past, present and future, incorporating a type of rebirth and creation, symbolic of the hues of the nebula. While taking art history courses at a nearby college one semester, I had the opportunity to travel to RISD and observe different ancient artifacts that were present, and was inspired by the textures and hues, hence the abstract face to the right of the canvas. The abstract face in the background is a representation of the demarcation of the essence of space and human thought. The gentle, feminine body towards the corner left of the canvas represents beauty and to remember a time of knowledge of mind, spirit and self before worldly interaction and its constructs. The symbolism of her arms and willingness to construct behind the veil, creativity and sweetness amongst the unknown space. The mind can maneuver, create, like arms. I'm excited about the outcome of this artwork, as I feel I was able to give this the emotion and vibrancy I needed and wanted it to have. And for the viewer, I desire that the experience of this artwork would instill a sense of the serene and to expand the mind and feeling.
