๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ is a very special painting. It has led me into a new style of expression, where I first began incorporating texture + various forms of mixed media into my abstract paintings. Since then, Iโve created many works deriving from ๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐.โฃ
โฃ
I originally described this style as โ๐๐๐ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ,โ which may have an outward appearance of minimalism, however, not minimal at all, but the opposite. The use of ivory paint + light colors radiate a lightness + ambiance of simplicity, however the several layers of texture, adhesives, + paint provide a topography across the canvas terrain. โฃ

There are two key phrases within ๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐. The first at the top right corner, partially hidden by layers of paint + the overlap of the corner is, โ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฅ๐ฐ ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ, ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ช๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ช๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฅ? Which was purportedly asked to the abstract painter Jackson Pollock, where he answers with this question: โ๐๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ด๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ?โโฃ
โฃ
The second phrase, in the middle (also partially hidden by layers of paint), is โ๐ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ต ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ช๐ฆ๐ค๐ฆ. ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ ๐ด๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฌ. ๐๐ญ๐ธ๐ข๐บ๐ด.โโฃ
โฃ
Upon pursuing art as my career, the word โ๐๐ญ๐ธ๐ข๐บ๐ดโ has been my tag line. It is how I close my emails + handwritten letters. I find it to be such a powerful word. โ๐๐ญ๐ธ๐ข๐บ๐ดโ represents eternity; an element or essence of being everlasting + ever present, constant + consistent. ๐๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ is what I strive to give, exude, and live in my daily life. โฃ
