Siamese 14 Painting

This piece is only available through my website . Payment plans still available. I completed this piece between December 2017 and January 2018. While working on it, I took a break in between to do a roadtrip of 1,981 miles in the United States. It was an important and energizing trip where I visited Joshua Tree, Antelope Canyon, and Horseshoe Bend, and read "La Casa de los Espiritus" by Isabel Allende for the first time. These were impactful experiences that carried through to the finishing touches. 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.
