"Dream of Tomorrow" is a captivating mixed media piece that measures 13.5” x 17” and showcases an imaginative blend of textures and colors. The composition is a harmonious mix of muted blues, oranges, and beiges, evoking a soothing yet vibrant dreamlike quality. Central to the artwork are two abstract, tree-like forms, intricately detailed with delicate branching lines. These forms twist and intertwine across the canvas, mingling with splashes of vivid paint and textured elements that add layers of depth and movement.
The artwork goes beyond traditional mediums to create an intricate visual experience. Created with multiple layers of glazes, this piece is enhanced with collaged colored tissue and rice papers, and further embellished with gold leaf and metallic acrylic paint. The use of ink, acrylics, and watercolor adds to the dynamic play of contrasts, allowing the piece to capture and hold attention in a unique way.
The inspiration for this artwork draws from the rich symbolism of the "Tree of Life," a motif laden with meanings of encouragement, flourishing, and hope across various cultural, mythological, and philosophical contexts. This symbolic core is interpreted through an abstract lens, making "Dream of Tomorrow" not only visually compelling but deeply resonant with themes of growth and optimism for the future.
