Elysian Canopy, 2022

"Elysian Canopy" is a deeply personal piece from the "Chiaroscuro" collection that speaks to the artist's own connection to nature and the beauty that can be found even in the darkest places. The painting features a striking black and blue oak tree with vibrant pink and green foliage that seems to burst forth from the canvas. The blue moss that clings to the tree's branches gives the painting an otherworldly feel, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a magical realm hidden within the natural world. The tree's v-shaped form rises from the bottom center of the painting, branching out beyond the view on the top corners of the canvas, as if reaching towards the heavens. Against a bright yellow background, the painting creates a stunning contrast that evokes a sense of hope and optimism, even in the face of darkness. With its masterful use of color and composition, "Elysian Canopy" is a breathtaking work that showcases the artist's exceptional talent and unique vision>
