Blue Arabia Painting

The idea of doing the series using gemstones as my inspiration came out of my enjoyment of admiring and collecting them. The idea for the series began with my desire to explore foreign themes using modelling paste to create a 3D effect. Later I introduced specially selected stones and recycled objects. In each piece I have used a limited pallet so that I can delve into a particular colour theme. ‘Blue Arabia’ - is a mixture of blue and gold mosaic with a painted sky and lake. A woman stands with her back to us longing for a chance to go inside the glittering temple.
