ABOUT THE WORK
Artwork Description
“The Parliament of Wings” is a landscape of the subconscious rendered in texture and light, composed with tactile reverie.
The painting contemplates the place where memory turns physical—texture as thought, color as sensation.
It invites you to look sideways at reality until the hidden layer comes into focus.
Created with mediums/materials: phosphorescent paints, found objects, paper, wax, photo collage, oxidative inks, distress paint and inks, acrylic pouring, digitally altered images, acrylic paint, watercolor, spray paint, walnut ink, staining mediums, tissue paper, mica powders, glitter, heavy gel medium, gesso, pebeo prism and fantasy paints, ceramic paint, stained glass paint, alcohol inks, iridescent inks, distress crayons, charcoal, pastels, oil pastels, string, beads, jewelry, gems, chains, buttons, foils, newspaper, vinyl, plastic, walnut inks, india ink, colorshift paints and more!, every layer feels deliberate—sediment building toward revelation.

THE ARTIST'S VOICE
Interpretation / Story
The Parliament of Wings explores the psychological terrain between the seen and the unseen — a meditation on emotion, memory, and the fragile thresholds of identity. The work invites contemplation of inner landscapes and the quiet movement of thought beneath form.
WHAT LIVES INSIDE
Hidden Images & Symbolic Elements
Birds: Messengers, flight, the soul's movement between states. Roses: Beauty, femininity, the thing that blooms despite chaos. Women's faces: Multiple selves, witnesses, the feminine as plural. Acrylic pour: The subconscious, the liquid foundation of thought.
