DESCRIPTION

The painting entitled “Midnight Horizon” imagines a city where buildings bridge between earth and sky to create a new kind of horizon that is only experienced in the middle of the night. As seen from afar, the earth appears to communicate with the stars as a new second skyline floats above the surface of the earth. Each night, the architectural light frequencies make certain stars brightly shine in different colors to echo harmonic patterns of city life. In this place, the stars are an extension of the city in a way that turns each day into a glorious nighttime symphony.

FROM THE COLLECTION

A hieroglyph is a Greek word that means "sacred carvings". The paintings in this ECOSCRIT series build upon this meaning, as through my artistic process each painting brings forth sacred markings (carved onto paper) that recode the deep inner workings of nature's beauty. In this way, each painting translates nature's most profound and inner poetic beauty as a new hieroglyphic language that awakens and nurtures human enlightenment, by speaking directly to the soul. This new hieroglyphic soul-language that deciphers nature's deep poetic beauty is called ECOSCRIT.
