Untitled {Heroes series v6}
Untitled {Heroes series v6}
$400.00

She emerges from the azure haze like a flame kindled in the depths of a winter sky—hair a wild corona of molten gold and amber, streaked with verdant shadows and rose embers, blazing defiant against the cool, swirling ether behind her.

Her head slightly tilted, gazing directly at the viewer with wide, intense eyes outlined in thick black lines. Her short, tousled hair blazes in vibrant yellows and oranges, streaked with green and pink, giving it a fiery, almost halo-like glow against the cool blue background. Her eyes, wide and unyielding, burn with quiet fire—rimmed in bold ink, they pierce the veil between worlds, holding secrets and sorrows in their luminous gaze. Cheeks flushed with the fever of living, lips a crimson whisper curved in knowing repose, as though she has just tasted the edge of a dream.

Broad, urgent strokes of magenta, olive, and scarlet sweep across her throat and shoulders, dissolving into garment and flesh alike, until form itself becomes a storm of color—raw, unapologetic, alive.

The background churns in restless blues, brushed and scumbled like turbulent heavens or the restless tide of emotion that carries her forward. Cool and atmospheric, like a cloudy sky or emotional depth—that contrasts sharply with the warm, vivid colors of the figure.

The overall technique combines elements of expressionism and abstraction: heavy black outlines, visible brushwork, and a palette that feels emotional rather than realistic. The portrait conveys a sense of quiet strength, introspection, and raw vitality, as if capturing a fleeting inner state with urgent, unpolished honesty.

She is no gentle being, but a revelation: a soul caught mid-incandescence, fierce and tender, fragile yet unbreakable—painted with the hurried honesty of a heart that refuses to be contained.

Unique painting. Acrylic on paper. Unframed dimensions: 14” high x 11” wide. Signed by the artist on the back, dated 2023. Frame not included.

Tychist Object 075
Tychist Object 075
$1,200.00

This image is a delicate hand-made abstract geometric artwork in acrylic on board.

At the center, a dynamic cluster of overlapping translucent triangles and polygonal shapes radiates outward in various directions, creating a sense of upward explosion or blooming energy. The forms are rendered in soft, pastel hues—pale blues, pinks, corals, yellows, greens, and teals—with subtle gradients and semi-transparent layering that allows colors to blend and intersect where they overlap, producing new subtle shades and a luminous, ethereal depth.

The shapes vary in size and orientation: some point sharply upward like peaks or arrows, others angle sideways or downward, forming an asymmetrical yet balanced composition that suggests movement and vitality without any representational elements.

The background is a plain, light white, providing a calm, unobtrusive canvas that enhances the vibrancy and airiness of the colorful forms. Overall, the piece evokes a feeling of joyful lightness, harmony, and controlled chaos—like a frozen burst of confetti, stained glass in sunlight, or an abstract floral arrangement—executed with precise, clean edges and a collage-like technique that emphasizes transparency and color interaction.

It was designed using algorithmic procedures that make decisions using random numbers. The title "Tychist Object" refers to a work embracing tychism, a philosophical concept coined by Charles Sanders Peirce. Tychism (from the Greek tychē, meaning "chance" or "luck") posits that genuine absolute chance plays a real, objective role in the universe, rather than everything being strictly determined.

Unique painting. Acrylic on board. Unframed dimensions: 18” high x 18-1/8” wide. Framed dimensions: 20-3/8” high x 20-3/8” wide x 1-7/16” deep. White painted modern style wood frame permanently attached. Signed by the artist on the front, dated 2017.

Spear-Bearer (Doryphoros)
Spear-Bearer (Doryphoros)
$600.00

This image depicts a contemporary sculptural reinterpretation of the classical Greek masterpiece Doryphoros (Spear-Bearer), originally created by Polykleitos around 440 BCE.

The iconic contrapposto pose is faithfully preserved: the figure stands with weight shifted onto the right leg, left leg relaxed and slightly bent, torso gently twisted, and arms positioned as if once holding a spear (now absent). The broad shoulders, narrow waist, and idealized athletic proportions echo the canonical beauty and harmonious balance of the ancient original.

Yet this modern version transforms the serene marble warrior into a fierce, primal entity. The entire surface is encrusted with hundreds of sharp, jagged shards and spikes protruding aggressively outward—like obsidian blades, creating a highly textured, almost crystalline armor forged in darkness. Painted in deep blacks, indigos, midnight blues, and metallic teals with iridescent highlights, the fragments create a chaotic, almost dangerous texture that catches the light in menacing glints.

Mounted on a simple black base against a soft peach backdrop, the sculpture’s dark, spiky form radiates intense contrast and raw power. What was once a celebration of calm, rational beauty has become a brooding, armored guardian—simultaneously protective and threatening, ancient ideal clashing with modern turmoil. The result is a powerful meditation on strength, vulnerability, and the transformation of classical harmony into contemporary ferocity.

Made from 3d printed plastic with hand-applied black paint with blue and green acrylic highlights. This is a limited edition, but each version is unique because the paint is hand-applied.

Unique variation of a sculpture edition, number 1 of 5, plastic with hand-applied acrylic paint. Dimensions: 7” high x 3-1/8” wide x 3-1/8” deep.
