Decoding The Desert
I did this piece as a commission for a collector in Palm Springs in the Fall of 2018, inspired by the wild flowers and cactus of the desert, I visited Zion Canyon in Utah and suddenly the geometry, color and texture of the desert come into picture, in an experience that capture the exotic shapes and the beauty of the desert in a way I have never experienced before.
The region also has a tradition of indigenous cultures, so I embedded symbols and techno driven imaginary that always fascinated me, the mixing of ancient and the new in one harmonic strong image. The piece has a mystic and futuristic feel driven by sensual and exotic shapes capturing the magnetism of the desert landscape.
