A packaging company in Switzerland approached me and asked to create a piece for their 25th anniversary. The only direction I receive from the owner is: “create something that reflects our company’s value for authenticity, flexibility and innovation” – Challenge accepted. In order to start conceptualizing and arrange my thoughts, I asked if I could get a sample of the firm’s products. With a delivery date on July 3rd 2015, my schedule is going to be epic but I am looking forward to this new endeavor.

After a break during the year end holidays and a trip to Italy, I was able to complete “Composition 20.” The fairly small size of each section required cautious work and extreme concentration in order to achieve the result I was aiming for this piece. I wanted to contrast these small sections with a black outlining that is thicker than those in my other pieces. Much like that of “Composition 15,” this 150 x 50 cm canvas is longitudinal; as you can see it is almost as tall as me!

Two and a half weeks of hard work are gone; my painting is finished and ready to be shipped to its future owner! As you can see, I combined round shapes with sharp edges and played with the contrasts that lime green, purple and yellow offer. In addition, black areas give more depth to the painting while accentuating the association among the other colors.

Taking a break from working on “Composition 20” due to the fact that I have been given a request by a customer to create a painting for them. The guidelines that I was given was to “put my heart into it.” Meaning, I have freedom to create whatever I want. As long as, I incorporate purple, lime green, and black as the main colors. I, of course, have chosen other colors that I feel will enhance the painting. I am truly excited that a client allowed me to let my inspiration realize this piece.

It’s been a while since I realized a longitudinal piece. “Composition 15” was horizontal, perfect for display in a a living room or dining room. For this one, I want to experiment verticality. As you can see, this canvas is almost as tall as me!

After three and a half months, I am happy to say that my next masterpiece is complete! I couldn’t be happier with the end result. So much energy flowing through each canvas. This is a piece where you can’t just stare at and walk away. Every time you look at it, you will discover and feel because of the vibration this piece offers. Whenever you feel down, this artwork will help brighten up your mood and see hope in the downs of life. That’s the power of colors. Or that’s what I believe at least.
