Sudoku
Polyptych, 9 X 24 x 24 inches
Acrylic & cotton fiber on canvas
In the Sudoku polyptych, I show a giant fern that sensually stretch its leaves.
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, sounds, and emotions. In Sudoku, I showed how the fern perfumes combine with the mysterious indigo and the silky chocolate, and how the leave sounds dancing in the breeze create hundreds of red, orange and purple dots in my mind like the ones I have scattered on the canvas.
This work includes 9 pieces, each 24 x 24 inches in size. They are laid out like a game of sudoku, which inspired me the title. They were done by first adding cotton fabric to the canvas, then pouring acrylic paint directly from the bottle.
