Cosmos

36 x 48 inches

Acrylic on canvas

​

This painting is part of my Sun Garden series that invites you into a sun-kissed botanical universe where the senses and emotions mingle. In these paintings, I illustrated the associations that are created between smells, emotions of joy and love and colors in my mind. I fixed them on the canvas to remember the smells and emotions I experienced, which I translated into shimmering and cheerful colors. I show how fragrant scents of undergrowth combine with tasty and fruity blue, sweet and frosty pink, and cheery yellow tones, and how petal and leaf patterns can form emotional and textured waves in my mind.

 

The patterns of the painting continue on the 1½in sides. It is strung with picture cords ready to hang.
