One Last Breath carries a feeling of gratitude and infinite connection to life. The elements of water and air demonstrate a rhythmic flow in the being and the environment. This body of work holds meaning that is multi-dimensional; breathing as living, breathing while swimming and experiencing the movement of air - the breath itself.
Life to me is precious. Thus my curiosity about nature, its beauty and its effects on my emotional state of being has been my lifelong focus as an artist. One Last Breath explores AIR and WATER from my childhood experiences of being a traveler and a swimmer.
How does the meaning of life influence my work?
As I swim, I feel the fluid movement of water. I rise up for air and develop a rhythm, a pattern of breathing in and exhaling. This feeling evokes an urge and passion to spread my dreams and memories onto the surface. Influenced by the sensations of water and the wisps of air I intuitively pour the colors with organic, fluid, crackled and textured marks. The more I indulge myself in experiencing air and water, the more connected I feel to the elements as they heal my being. This work invites you to experience air and water through One Last Breath.
