Dancing under Blue Face Mountain - Acrylic on board - 32 x 40
From the artist: “An undefined energy inspires me along my creative process and the subject figures of my paintings move from abstract to surrealistic to realistic forms that breathe between layers of colors and details embodied in my work. My painting style creates a sense of unity that brings tranquility and joy. African art and west culture have a heavy influence which is prominent in my work. With the use of bold colors, the real world I see becomes my world on canvas.”
