Title: “NUGAiA!”

Description:

Explore the mystical and vibrant world of “NUGAiA!,” a compelling mixed media artwork by artist Riley Vandervest, created in 2022. This piece, measuring 22 inches by 18.5 inches with a depth of 0.75 inches, is presented on canvas, crafting a unique mood board aesthetic that blends art, spirituality, and nature.

“NUGAiA!” features a foundational canvas painting, rich with lush greens that evoke a sense of natural growth and life, overlaid with an eclectic collection of oracle cards and real foliage. The oracle cards, each imbued with symbolic imagery and esoteric meanings, include figures like ‘20 PiAH,’ ‘The AEON,’ ‘3 Thoth,’ ‘2 Nephthys,’ ‘8 Ma’at,’ ‘Lion,’ and ‘El Oro del Inca,’ adding layers of spiritual narrative to the piece. The inclusion of Pantone color swatches (3985, 583, 142, and 14-0852 Freesia) introduces a vibrant color theory aspect, enhancing the visual harmony and thematic depth.

The real foliage, integrated seamlessly into the composition, brings an organic, three-dimensional texture, bridging the gap between the painted canvas and the tangible world. This combination creates a layered, interactive experience, inviting viewers to delve into the spiritual and natural elements portrayed.
