Raven's Refuge, 2022

"Raven's Refuge" is a deeply personal piece from the "Chiaroscuro" collection that reflects the artist's own journey of finding refuge in the midst of chaos. The majestic black bird perched on a branch in the lower left corner represents the artist's own struggle with darkness, while the vibrant bush with large white flowers and bright green leaves symbolizes hope and resilience. Against an orange backdrop that evokes a sense of warmth and comfort, the painting speaks to the artist's own quest for sanctuary in a world that can often feel overwhelming. With its masterful use of color and composition, "Raven’s Refuge" is a powerful and emotive work.
