Honorable Mention Winner

“Bosons”, 20×50″ acrylic on canvas was selected and awarded with Honorable Mention by Raymond Padron, the juror of the Art League’s October 2020 Open Exhibit. My particular interest in scientific theories such as spacetime and Higgs fields has been the source of inspiration for this painting.

In this piece, I have used raw cotton canvas staining techniques (prior to painting) to achieve richer colors.
