Art of Deep Space
With these 2 paintings, I have endeavoured to capture the essence of colour and movement as it may appear in space. I am also exploring the movement of heavenly bodies through space and the motion of spirals and circular rotation of planets. These works were inspired by my Aikido practice(a martial art), which has similar principles in it’s teaching.
_I have started working with metal as a medium for the expression of my art. The picture of the candle holders was originally designed and created for a friends wedding. I wanted to create something unique and solid yet graceful and beautiful in the lines that express the shape of two hearts. Each one stands tall and upright a symbol of the meaning for two people who chose to come together.
