About The Artwork

In 'TAKING A BREAK', a serene moment of familial bonding is captured beneath the shimmering surface of a swimming pool. The predominant aqua tones, gracefully blended with soothing white and accented by subtle black, create an ethereal underwater world that invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquillity of this unique aquatic scene. The composition revolves a child and a woman, their legs hanging gracefully in the clear, rippling water. The subtle play of light and shadow on the tiles adds depth and mimics the dance of sunlight filtering through the water's surface. The woman and child sit side by side, their limbs submerged in the weightless embrace of the pool. The water gently distorts their forms, giving the scene an almost dreamlike quality. The overall atmosphere is one of calm and unity, as the aqua colors evoke a sense of peaceful fluidity. The viewer is transported into a world where time seems to stand still, allowing a contemplative appreciation of the simple yet profound beauty in the bond between parent and child.

I assemble original photography, assorted papers, acrylics, oil, charcoal, ink and pencil in my works. The variety of resources I am able to use has proved indispensable to me. The biggest challenge the collage medium posed was its unforgiving lack of transparency. Finding a way to replicate the effects of transparency afforded by paint, especially water colors, was “a large victory” for me . The preparing labor shows through in my collages; layer upon layer of material remains visible in the finished pieces. I believe my body of work is characterized by my skill for reinvention. Having always loved the appearance of weathered walls plastered with peeling paint and old posters, I revive this aesthetic with hopefully a keen and professional eye. The creative objective of my work is to “make something beautiful out of dilapidation.”My tableaus explore the dissonance between old and new materials, intertwined in the most beautiful possible way to create dreamlike and melancholy images.
