About the Item
Abstract. Philosophical. Colorful.
Dancing dragons spout fire and fill the sky with their bodies and dance. Each one is a different size and color. Two of the larger ones have their talons around 1/2 each of the tajitsu known as the 'yin/yang' symbol.
The symbol, as one piece, represents all existence in all forms of relation as connected pieces, even in subliminal ways. The symbol tells us that all existence is interconnected in some way. Even the opposites. Even when the pieces are separated, as here.
That two of the largest dragons each have half of the symbol in their talons tells you that realizing the interconnections IS the beauty, the stunning, aching beauty of all existence.
Behind these dragons of all sizes and colors are two large mushrooms.
Once upon a time, when mushrooms were consumed, dancing dragons filled the sky and all I could do was marvel at the beauty of existence as tears leaked out my eyes and my mouth went dry.
Meet my dancing dragons who danced in the sky and showed me the aching, glorious and intense beauty of existence in one amazing afternoon.

Arlette Stella
Arlette Stella is an abstract painter with occasional work that expresses surrealism. She is self-taught, late-blooming and unstoppable. Her work is characterized by bold colors, since she is mainly color-blind and needs bold colors to see the work. Arlette’s philosophical nature is the basis for her work. Every work is the result of a conversation she has had with canvas, paints and colors.
Each work aims to incur, inspire, and maybe even nudge (kick you in the yeah-butt!) the viewer to experience and act on kindness. Arlette states clearly: Kindness is my brand!
Arlette Stella is an artist member of the San Diego Artist Guild of the San Diego Museum and of the Artist Guild of Palm Springs/Palm Desert, among other artist groups.
