About the Item

"Beneath the Sun, Upon the Sand" by Maya Ripley is an original acrylic painting on canvas that uniquely blends figurative art with vibrant botanical symbolism and striking graphic motifs. This 2024 artwork depicts a confident female figure wrapped in a golden-yellow garment adorned with detailed serpentine forms and symbolic imagery, including a central eye surrounded by radiating lines, evoking mysticism and introspection. Richly colored flowers in reds, yellows, and deep earth tones frame the composition, set against a backdrop of serene blue and turquoise hues. Ripley’s style harmoniously merges contemporary portraiture with elements of nature and spiritual iconography, creating an impactful visual narrative. Maya Ripley is recognized for her meticulous attention to detail, smooth graphic outlines, and a compelling interplay between realism and stylization. The painting measures 27.55 x 27.55 inches, with a depth of 1.45 inches, and is presented unframed but ready to hang, allowing the viewer to appreciate the continuity of its carefully finished edges. This contemporary artwork is ideal for collectors seeking bold, expressive pieces that blend modern aesthetics with symbolic depth.

"Tierra" Acrylic and Oil Painting
By Kierstin Young
Located in Denver, CO
Kierstin Young's (US based) "Tierra" is an acrylic and oil painting depicting a Comet Moth and it's yellow and red designs Artist Statement/Bio: (b. The Year of the Rabbit) Kierstin's life began by almost never beginning at all. A car accident occurred while Kierstin’s mother was pregnant with her. The doctors advised against continuing the pregnancy for fear that Kierstin would be born without limbs or even blind. Her parents decided against it, and Kierstin was born a healthy child. This story was relayed to her as a child as a reminder of how serendipitous her life was. Kierstin was always filled with an overflowing energy and creativity. This led her on many diverse paths in life. Her many areas of focus included psychology, poetry, photography, mountaineering, religious studies, music, playing ice hockey, spelunking and pretending to be an astronaut. She grew up between two places; the first was a house built on Native American burial grounds in rural New Jersey. The second was a summer home in the beautiful Adirondack Mountains of New York. For the first sixteen years of her life, she was home taught by an assortment of sane and insane people. Her junior year she began the strange new adventure of going to school. She was most likely the only 16 year old in the world to be that ecstatic about riding a school bus, because it was for the first time in her life. It was there in public school, that her art teachers really encouraged her to pursue her love of art. Hopes were high for going to art school, but Kierstin found herself forbidden from even applying by her parents. She applied anyway. Upon getting rejected from prestigious art schools such as RISD and Parsons, Kierstin decided to attend duCret school of Art. Being rejected turned out to be a serendipitous turn of events for Kierstin once again. It was there at duCret that she met Timothy Jahn and began studying in his Academy duCret and subsequently Jahn Studios. This lead her to continue her education at the Ani Art Academy under the direction of Anthony Waichulis.
