About The Artwork
Gods of Fire have made their appearances in cultures throughout history. They have been chosen to represent gems on repurposed media. My work fits into the eco-centric art by bringing materials back to life. A reclaimed printed background disappears behind opaque oil paint rendering and reappears through transparent acrylic wash. Eternal flames re-emerge in the facets of jewels which reflect and transfix. I paint cut gemstones on reclaimed materials. What begins as refuse is repurposed, transforming base materials into noble objects. I synthesize historical and contemporary styles by mixing the classical tradition of still-life painting with modernism. A butterfly emerges from a transparent, iridescent and green topaz.
