Title: Euphoria

Size: 14 x 11 x 1 inches

Medium: Invasive lionfish leather, acrylic, gold leaf, on canvas

Euphoria is a breathtaking exploration of joy captured through the innovative use of invasive lionfish leather. Seven abstract, molded shapes, each resembling soft, rounded pebbles, grace a pristine white background in a vertical alignment. These forms vary in size, ascending from the largest at the bottom to the smallest at the top, creating an organic gradient that is both mesmerizing and soothing.

The textures invite you to imagine the tactile delight of running your fingers over the dimensional, slightly cupped leather, which is tinged with warm pink hues and elegantly edged with 24 karat gold. This intricate gilding accentuates the natural beauty and resilience of the material, transforming an environmental menace into a thing of pure beauty and light.

This piece is part of the "Radiant Bliss" series, devoted to evoking feelings of lightheartedness and exuberance. It redefines the invasive lionfish crisis, offering a fresh perspective that celebrates the possibility of turning ecological challenges into sources of artistic inspiration. 

Euphoria stands as a testament to creativity and resilience, encouraging viewers to find beauty and potential in the unexpected, thereby fostering a genuine sense of optimism and delight.

This work is gallery wrapped, signed on the back, and ready to hang as-is, or with a frame of your choice. It looks great hanging alone or grouped with the rest of the series.
