I just had to create this massive piece of fabulous fantasy. The desire as Summer approaches to be so experimental and let go arrives. This was just that. Summer brings us a feeling of wellbeing and hope
The mixing of all the elements, minerals and passage of billions of years created a sort of chemical soup of wonder. Very harsh but if you imagine with colour it is beautiful. I see mixes of all shades of red, blues, greens, yellows, pinks as the Hubble Telescope shows us with its infrared depiction of our Cosmos
Rich deep colours with some elements of brighter areas was my clients order. We worked together as I created the piece through the process which I find very enjoyable. In building up the layers of colour, each layer is encased in resin to give an almost 3 d effect. A superb array of precious materials, inks, oil pastel, mineral powders in metallic effect create a dazzling two tone effect in various lights and positions.
Original artwork on canvas
Optional frame – in sprayed metallic frame ( wood base)
Mineral pigments, inks, oils, diamond dust, sapphire dust, ruby dust, quartz epoxy resin, oil pastels.
A base layer of lighter colours was made and on top I started to add layering each time new colours added time.
