Simpatico9" x 12"Acrylic on Canvas2004Sold

This painting was inspired by my interest in folk art, especially the colorful art of tribal India. I love to immerse myself in the brightly colored, exquisitely detailed designs and patterns that can be found in Kutch embroidery and Mughal miniatures. This painting reflects the vividness of color and the undeniable exuberance that are the hallmarks of these types of traditional works. I created these patterns and color choices to reference the design qualities of Indian art while bringing the essence to a modern, contemporary audience through the medium of abstract art. The sides of this painting are also decorated in the same manner as the front, so that this painting becomes more of a three-dimensional objet d'art rather than a flat surface plane. Each side of the canvas is painted with its own pattern, which you can see in the pictures below.
