Siamese 16 Painting

This piece is only available through my website www.gabrielagil.com/siamese. Payment plans still available. I painted this piece between April and May of 2018. It followed seven studies in which I was attempting to loosen up my brushwork, and discover new techniques. This piece incorporated several learnings including longer forms in the fins, a lighter color palette, a light background, and the removal of metal from the eyes of the fish. 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.
