Carlos Gamez de Francisco
Garden I

2022

About the Item

"Garden I" depicts several colorful moths flying over fine line leaves and grass. As in many of his paintings, Francisco includes several large insects, butterflies specifically, throughout the piece. Insects flying up represent freedom, insects flying down or falling represent chaos, and insects at rest represent balance between the two. This would make an exceptional addition to any home!
