"Float" is a mesmerizing masterpiece that radiates vibrant energy and creative ingenuity. Measuring 6.75 x 6.75 inches, this circular artwork draws the eye with its vivid gradient of colors that seamlessly flow from a luminous fluorescent yellow-orange at the top, through shades of orange, red, fluorescent pinks, and purple, finally settling into tranquil blues at the base. These colors cascade across the surface in a pattern of mosaic-like diamond shapes, each one a testament to the unique beauty of nature, meticulously highlighted to stand out against the dynamic backdrop.
What sets "Float" apart is its foundation: a piece of invasive python leather, expertly repurposed to form the canvas for this stunning visual narrative. The python’s natural scales are transformed into individual pieces of art, each scale's inherent texture amplified by the artist’s bold use of acrylics. White zigzagging lines dart through the piece, offering striking contrast and depth, further enhancing the composition's lively yet harmonious flow.
In essence, "Float" captures the serene majesty of a sunset, with colors that evoke both the warmth of the setting sun and the coolness of twilight shadows over water or distant mountains. It is an invitation to contemplate the extraordinary beauty found in unexpected places and the endless potential for transformation and renewal. This artwork not only celebrates the beauty intrinsic to nature but also invites viewers to see the world through a lens of creativity and hope.
