About this artwork
I have painted coral portraits utilizing Technique mix; a process Leonardo DaVinci learned from Anthony Van Dyck for his Monalisa. A foundation of black and white tempera is painted to establish textures and depth. This parallels the stony boulder skeleton below the polyp layer of coral and looks like bleached coral reef. Colorful glazes are applied to recreate the vibrancy of restored coral polyps. The white tempera reflects light through the glaze…
as if the coral painting is underwater. In sculpting I move the specific subject to the geometric interpretation. The Ring of Fire paintings move from being observed as the other-worldly abstract imagery that seems like pure painterly invention to is actual realistic representation. I faithfully render the phantasmagoric vitality that exists in the reef system at a level of complexity and color that exceeds what most people will venture to see. Processed like a royal in portraiture seems fitting.
