Presenting "Tranquility," a captivating work of art that measures 14 x 11 x 1 inches and exudes a sense of serene exuberance. Created with the dynamic combination of invasive lionfish leather, acrylic paint, and 24 karat gold leaf on canvas, this piece is a part of the "Radiant Bliss" series, an exploration of joy in its multifaceted forms.

"Tranquility" features a mesmerizing arrangement of blue and green textured ovals and circular shapes, crafted from lionfish leather. These shapes are carefully wet-molded and hand-painted, then gilded along the edges with shimmering gold. Ascending from the bottom left to the top right, the composition evokes a sense of movement and upliftment, leading the eye through a journey of color and form.

The minimalist design is enhanced by the crisp white background, making the vivid colors and gold details come alive. Each slightly-cupped shape adds a dimension of light and shadow, contributing to a balanced yet dynamic composition.

This artwork not only delights the senses but also reimagines a troubling environmental issue by transforming invasive lionfish into a resource for beauty and creativity. "Tranquility" invites viewers to find joy and optimism, reminding us of the potential for renewal and art in even the most unexpected places.

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.
