It has been some time since I had my last commissioned piece. Lately, I have been focused on producing more artwork to be added to my collection. But, the time has come, and I am ecstatic that my next painting will be a commissioned piece.
The requirements for this piece are quite simple. They requested the canvas to be approximately 18 X 24 inches in size. As that is the best size to fit on their wall. Next, they mentioned that I am free to be me and create! I am always elated when a customer gives full freedom and is confident in my creativity.
So far, the design for this piece has come along rather quickly. This does not always happen when coming up with a new design. Sometimes I have to draw many, many sketches before I am able to see something I like. So I am quite happy and excited to see where this artwork transpires.
“Composition 29” is composed of two canvases, each at 70 X 70 cm. The goal was to create a piece that didn’t contain too many canvases, but still incorporate a big design. I wanted to be able to complete this piece in time for it to be on display for my exhibition in Vienna from May 3rd to 23rd 2021 at The gallery-Steiner.
In the design of this painting, I wanted to give the viewer a new outlook on the pattern I create. This time I chose to in-large the pattern or what I like to call a “zoom-in” of the pattern. The large shapes help to bring out the boldness of the design.
The yellow, bright, line that goes around the piece was intended to help entice the eye to move from one section to the next. Furthermore, the bold, center, orange shape was meant to capture the eye into connecting both canvases together. Each shape was carefully designed with the aim at generating movement. As with all my artwork, the purpose of each is to create movement with bold and crisp shapes.
“Composition 29” was my final piece to be represented in my exhibition at The gallery-Steiner in Vienna, Austria.
The new piece that I have started to work on will be part of my collection that I will be exhibiting in my upcoming expo in Vienna, Austria in April 2021.
I choose two large canvases: each 70 X 70cm. My intention is to have a design that will contain large shapes or what I would call a “zoom in” of the pattern. This will be a new approach that I wanted to try out.
This is my first painting completed after having my son. I am ecstatic to finally showcase this new work of art. This piece was very time consuming, compared to my other pieces, due to the fact that the pattern is very complex.
The eye has a lot to look at when viewing this painting. That was the goal I wanted to achieve with this piece. The design that was created from each connecting shape produces movement for the eye to wonder from one section to the next. It was made to keep your eye wanting to see more. There is not one area that is the same as the other and I wanted every part to have its own unique distinitive look. As always, I have incorporated the same color palette that I have used in my previous works: bright bold colors.
