This artwork is a one-of-a-kind original piece.
Urban Jungle is a series exploring our natural environment in an urban setting. I have only lived in major cities . My idea of nature stems from a city perspective and the oasis that parks provide for urban living. Acrylic, oil stick, paper and diamond dust on canvas compose this multi-layered work. Upcycled paper adds a layer of architectural drawings, numbers and or text , to the florals. The flowers are then cut and arranged on the canvas that is painted with a gradient effect. Cutouts are painted over for further abstraction and additional florals are added in both the foreground and background together with diamond dust for texture and shine. This diptych 2-panel painting incorporates Pantone Colors of the year 2021 PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating (yellow) on one panel and Color of the year 2020 PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue on the other panel. Some of the flowers are 3-dimensional and come out of the canvas.
