Le Cirque de Soleil ©2023
48 x 39.5 inches (121.92 x 100.33 cm)
For an actor, performance is life. For the viewer, life is a performance. "Le Cirque de Soleil" is a colorful storyline about two performers on a magical mystery tour abiding poised elegance. As the painting takes shape, the characters arrived subconsciously. The colors form the musical soundtrack, set the tone, and create metaphors for the magical scene of two circus performers. A dialogue between the visual and the musical rhythm of the line, shapes, and shades of color symbolize unity between the natural and spiritual forces forming relationships between art and life. My approach blends abstract expressionism with geometric details to explore the spontaneity of emotions. Each stroke and color overlay unravels the narrative of human complexities against stark, bold contrasts. This piece embodies the vibrancy of life itself—dynamic, unpredictable, yet utterly beautiful. It's designed to inject a spirited energy into any living space, merging art with the pulse of daily existence.
