Description
This artwork is an abstract composition dominated by deep and vibrant blues, interspersed with diverse symbols and shapes. Two semi-transparent cubes outlined in white float within the scene, one enveloped by a bold, dark core and the other lighter and more ethereal. A vivid rainbow arcs near the center, bridging the cool blues with lighter, cream-toned space. The piece is punctuated by spirals, concentric circles, eyes, and other geometric motifs that vary in opacity and intensity. The background texture suggests layers of brushwork and possibly mixed media, lending depth and complexity to the composition. The overall effect is dreamlike, evoking mystery and contemplation within a cosmic or underwater ambiance.
This piece effectively captures an intriguing balance between abstract form and symbolic suggestion, inviting viewers to explore multiple interpretations. The use of blue as a dominant color fosters a sense of calm yet enigmatic atmosphere, while the rainbow provides a striking contrast that brings vitality and hopefulness into the scene. The interplay between the solidity of the cubes and the fluidity of the spirals and curves is compelling, suggesting a dialogue between structure and freedom.
The handling of texture and layering creates an immersive environment that draws attention to details without overwhelming the composition. The variances in opacity and line strength show thoughtful control and enhance the visual rhythm, which is a significant strength. Exploring the relationship between geometric forms and organic shapes here brings a fresh dynamic, which is engaging and speaks to an underlying narrative or emotional state.

Graduating from a master’s program in drawing and painting at California State University Long Beach in 1976, I left the US in order to discover what the world held for a young artist. Two years and many destinations later, I landed in Paris with the hopes of studying the great works of art - my desire to soak up the rich resources of history still intact. As fate would have it, the City of Light became my home for the next twenty-four years. Many historically important artists with influence on my work include Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis and Willem De Kooning to name a few. All my time in Paris and other locales both here and abroad allowed me access, first hand, to examples of all of the history of western art. I find that in the process of creating my art today, I still reflect on the experiences of my past and draw on the ideas and concepts found there and aspire to creating something new from it.
