About the Work
No. 2 of 3 in the Caribbean Dreams series
You Could Stay is not a painting of a specific Caribbean place. It’s the feeling of being out on clear water under an open sky, when the air softens, the horizon opens, and time seems to loosen its grip.
There’s a question inside the image: are you moving toward the island, circling around it, or looking back as you leave? The longer you stay with it, the less it resolves into one answer. It becomes a pause, a moment to breathe, a place the viewer can enter and make their own.
The surface is built from 58 invasive lionfish skins, cut and arranged by hand onto a cradled wood panel. From a distance, the painting reads as atmosphere. Up close, the irregular edges and scale textures reveal the material beneath the calm.
