Siamese 12 Painting

This piece is only available through my website . Payment plans still available. I painted this piece between August and December of 2017. It was one of the most challenging pieces to complete because of the different layers and textures. Coincidentially, this was also the piece I was working when I oficially took the leap, and quit my full-time job in Silicon Valley. This is the only piece of the series which has a background with hidden writing on it. Although not easily read, it repeatedly says: "she knew she could." It was a reflection, and reminder that goals can be achieved with hard work, perseverance, and unbreakable belief in one's ability to overcome difficulty. The painting includes hanging hardware, and is hand-signed on the back. It is a unique piece - no prints are available. About the Siamese series: Three years in the making, the Siamese series was inspired by the strong, yet flowing nature of Siamese fighting fish. I created this body of work with the goal of making it the transition from a full-time job working with technology startups in Silicon Valley to one where art, my calling, would take the center stage. Therefore, the whole series evolved in parallel to the mental and emotional journey of pursuing a goal regardless of obstacles and difficulty. The colorful brushstrokes are meant to convey the vivacious and flowing nature of Siamese fighting fish; and, the meticulous metal patchwork is meant to resemble thousands of scales, but most importantly, the armor and strength of a warrior. ​ 10% of the net proceeds of my art are invested in nonprofits that support economic development, and mental health.
