“Skyland”, mixed media on diptych 2x(60×20)” canvas, was selected by Jessie Boyland, the juror of the Art League’s July 2022 Open Exhibit. Skyland is a dream about true harmony between manmade and nature. This diptych explores the shapes and colors of landscape and sky from different angles and perspectives.

Honorable Mention Winner

“Rainessance”, 48×36″ mixed media on wood was selected and awarded with Honorable Mention by Eliot Dudik, the juror of the Art League’s May 2022 Open Exhibit.

“Life After People”, 40×30″ mixed media on canvas was selected by Xander Berekely, the juror of the Art League’s April 2022 Screen Dream Exhibit (somehow related to or titled after a movie or TV series). This painting is very much inspired by a television series with the same title in which scientists speculate about what might become of Earth if humanity suddenly disappeared—the impact of human absence on the environment and the vestiges of civilization thus left behind. Nature takes over what is left of our constructions. In the intuitive process of creating this painting, I’ve tried to mimic the unpredictable growth of vegetation around and within derelict buildings.
