Geometric Garden
Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, signed in the lower right corner. Hanging hardware is included.
As an artist, I am excited to share this new original art, which combines representational subject matter with a strong abstract and geometric style. I wanted to explore the contrast between the organic beauty of a garden and a rigid, architectural framework.
I built the composition using a grid of intersecting lines and colored blocks, drawing inspiration from rectilinear styles like Cubism. I chose a rich palette for these shapes—featuring teal, terracotta, royal blue, and pale lavender—and framed the entire rectangular image with a solid, flat black border to make the colors pop.
The heart of the piece is the textured, three-dimensional subject I placed in the center. I find there is a unique energy in the tension between that soft, organic center and the heavily structured, flat border that surrounds it."
