PERPLEXITY OF DREAMS

PERPLEXITY OF DREAMS – We can  all relate to perplexing dreams; the ones that make no sense and have us wondering what they were all about. This artwork represents the ever mystical presence that dreams can have. The swirls of directions, overlaping thoughts and images all rolled into one.

Perplexity of dreams is made of layers of beautiful colours swirling in direction and transparency, Like veils of filmy dreams to be pulled away to try and decipher what it all means. Intriguing in its presence with a mix of delicious colours laced with copper streaks.

SYNTHESIS

“SYNTHESIS” – A 60 x 60 cm acrylic mixed media artwork on 3 mm board, ready for framing. Synthesis is a lovely piece that is intriguing as it captures the light and changes the colour perception as it transforms in the light angles over its beauty. Predominantly blue and charcoal colours  over blue and rose gold metallic textured base layers. The textures emphasize the differing colours as the light hits them. A true beauty that draws the eye and keeps you looking more as the textures and colours synthesize into this mix of grunged erosion and appealing allure.

Heavily textured and oxidised with a rust treatment bringing out beautiful colours and patina. Ruination is a show stopper with its warm and intriguing tones and depths of reds, and oranges over dark undertones. Beautifully ruined.

ACCEPT CHANGE

ACCEPT CHANGE – this work was inspired by the recent global events as a reminder that change is constant. Change is not something we can avoid. We must accept that what we have in the here and now is always subject to change. What matters is how readily we accept the changes that are inevitable. We should not fight them. An easier path is to accept the changes presented to us and make the necessary adaptations, learn from the new that is presented to us, and to use it for growth. It’s not always easy. Nor should it be. But accept change with peace and grace, and make it your own ! .

This is a multi layered & multi  faceted mixed media piece. It presents with the top 1/4 demonstrating our lives as we know it- our normal and comfortable life. As it moves down the next phase is the turmoil that change can indeed create..lots of “new normal” to be adopted. As it moves further down the art piece to the bottom it generates a different outlook, a new approach, but bottom line is it is still something to be admired. If we equate this to our life, you will see that if we accept change, there is still beauty, its just a newer version of our comfort level.

REMNANTS OF YESTERYEAR

This mixed media artwork is full of hints of the past; beautiful stenciled and textured elements, coupled with metallic gold and oxidated features; rust!

This is definitely a statement piece and would look incredible in a contrast setting of contemporary / aged.
