LUMINOUS APPARITIONS, 2010

Mixed media, encaustic, photography with LED light box frame.

28″x40″ $1500

Luminous Apparitions is an abstract collaboration of mixed mediums, blended and processed through my subconscious, guided by intuition. I call them “apparitions” because these faces, figures, characters, and landscapes, were surprisingly revealed to me after creating. It was not something I was consciously aware of doing at the moment. The process of creating from my intuition has made me realize that perhaps I’m not just tapping into my own subconscious and possible past life experiences but could also be communicating with spiritual entities in the form of surreal, dream like expressions.

Transcendtile is an emotional landscape of color and shapeless forms that transcend the tangible and concrete, triggering feelings from your heart and sensations cognizant in your sub-conscious.
