ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The concept of alchemy, the turning of base metals into gold, features throughout the Metanoia series. Specifically in Litora Aurea Lux (latin for ‘Shores of Golden Light) which depicts in the background the seascape of the coast of California. The gold rush of the mid 1800’s saw many people flock to the West coast of the U.S. in search of prosperity. Today there is a similar influx each year to L.A. of aspiring creatives wanting to make it big in Hollywood and turn their talent into the precious metal of an Emmy or an Oscar. I’ve depicted in this painting an abstract sense of something beyond the everyday, a form that seems born out of the energetic field of these California dreams.
