An Illustration of Mother Nature’s Many Glories

This project combines my multifaceted skills and experience as a designer, a fine artist, and a
feminine creator. The concept is to glorify Mother Nature.
A series of 20 oil paintings on canvas (60”x48” each) featuring 3D depth effect, arranged in a
spiral order, shifting clockwise.
Final visual: 20ft x 20ft. Display: Five vertical rows and four horizontal.
Each canvas is painted individually and can be displayed independently or combined as a diptych or more; carrying a unique character in motion, not duplicated elsewhere, and entitled accordingly to emphasize its singularity.

PROJECT SEGMENTATION:
1- Scan canvases one-by-one - Prepare for Giclees process
2- Limited Editions Giclees
3- Original sizes Metal Prints - Add perforations, mixed media, crystals,
metal leaves in order to revive the colors, texture, and the 3 Dimensional depth
effect.
4- Print on five canvas rolls (size: W50” x H21Ft) each carrying one vertical row in
respect to the original order and size - Install adjacently to exhibit the entire visual at once.

EXHIBITION:
Install walls in a spiral layout on an upward ramp, hang the paintings individually at 24” off the floor, starting with canvas#1 to #20. At top the viewer would have gone 12Ft up while enjoying the art and admiring its 3D depth effect. Exiting on the viewing balcony, the eyesight would align
with the center horizontal of the two large visuals which would be displayed on the left and right area. Adding a dynamic perspective to the project, we will play the sounds of nature on audio and project a movie of the original paintings in the middle wall and ceiling on a very large scale.
My goal for this project is for it to be retained as a whole by a museum, an art foundation, or a private collector instead of being spread-out in pieces.

On this page three paintings out of 20 are represented. As of August 31st 2020 twelve paintings have been completed. I will continue with the full scope until the completion of all 20 canvases to accomplish the full composition.

I am at speed for an exhibition in December for Miami Art Week 2020. Being a local artist of Miami Beach, I am fortunate to participate and enjoy Miami art Week every year. This time I wish for my project to be out in the open - or/and online to share my vision and passion for the art and the "new" with the public. 

This project has a 3 Dimensional Depth Effect because of chromatic hues in my palette choice, this is why I believe it'll be wonderful to share this project physically in person instead of being uploaded to the internet only.

I am fully committed to my art. Being recognized as an artist will grant me the opportunity to foster relationships with international museums, so that I may start my career strongly and in the right environment. There is still much work to be done, I look forward to every phase of this project and the future.

MEDIA & TECHNIQUE:

Oil Painting: 
featured in IN THE BEGINNING 20|20 project (here presented as project #1 to 1.4)
Each canvas consists of 8 to 10 layers of paint, with its bottom layer in gesso. Using gesso allows me to create an invisible layer of subtle 3-dimensional strokes. Subsequently, I carefully select and mix the color palette and tones to achieve the 3-dimensional effect desired.
The final visual offers bright and lively colors. It leaves the eye wandering from one painting to the other in a spiral shift. It’s a true draw working on the subliminal. It is innovative and unique. For more thrills, I suggest that the viewer wears the ChromaDepthⓇ3D glasses to discover the depth of the layers in all their chromatic intensity .
