My artist statement

            Most of the ideas that have inspired me to create my panel were to search or organic, aquatic, life forms but also try to create a unified theme within the overall composition. I was visually attracted to fish scales for my microcosm observation. For the Fibonacci sequence I’ve chosen the Mollusk shell and as my macrocosm section I’ve created a surrealism scenery involving focus mostly on making the objects in the image larger than the subjects themselves. I wanted to create an environment in which the subjects looked as if they traveled from a long distance to arrive to this whole new world  to create a fresh start. In the process of creating this piece I wanted to show the aesthetics of how beautiful the beach could look from a much smaller scale. The area of lights and dark value steer the viewer’s eye through the foreground, middle, and background while also showing the light source on each form and while everything is receding into space. On the other hand, I feel my work shows the symbolism of rebirth and prosperity by using the seashells which also relates to the narrative of the piece since the idea is to start anew. Some of the problems that occurred with the medium for the panels was to create a dramatic shift in between each color while using a monochromatic scale and at times the paint had to be remoisten. One of the main things I have enjoyed about this project was it allowed to me to be able to create an imaginative theme but also showing a sense of control by using actual organic pieces.

Final project finally complete!

I finally finished my master piece and it was a complete success, I really enjoyed working with the theme I had in mind and the project it self. I managed to show my work process & with the help of someone else as well :) I really enjoyed this project to end off the class with!
