“Sherlock Holmes” (Nightscape) marks a new direction in my celebrated “Landscape” collection. I seamlessly integrate several of my signature techniques drawn from the “Symphony” series, creating a template of lyrical composition, textured applications, and symphonic movements. The depiction of Sherlock Holmes silhouetted against a magnifying glass captures the vibrant energy of the illuminated city at its heart. The light metaphorically symbolizes Holmes as a wise and intelligent figure, ready to tackle challenges with his discernment and intellect. This radiance emanates from his wisdom and profound understanding. Solving the mysteries of a bustling city that never sleeps forms the philosophical premise of my painting.
Completed in fall of 2022 at the artist studio in New York, The mediums in the painting are acrylic, enamel and gold leaf on canvas.
