2.2.9 King of the Jungle
In this piece when up close you can see swans surrounded by a kind of nest, very protective and tender. When looking from a far you see the opposite, the lion, suddenly the picture becomes abstract. Its a very pragmatic and figurative piece. It shows the essence of my work, the key. It shows the different ways we look at paintings the way we perceive them, a play on vision. On the other side of this work I decided to create a journey of memories out of different elements that would come together and symbolize a celebration of life. Life is a puzzle with many different pieces, art is the glue that binds the pieces together and expresses the joy and wisdom. For me Matisse showed in his work how far the freedom of abstract art can bring you and how close it actually is to everyone, everyday,everywhere.
