About the Item
This painting is part of the artists' Paradise series, an ongoing project that began in 2021. Several works from the series were recently exhibited during Miami Art Week 2024 in collaboration with the artist's gallery. Created with acrylic paint on a custom wood panel, the piece employs a palette of black and tan to depict a dynamic landscape rich with energy and expressive language.
A recurring motif in the series, this painting features a palm tree, waves, and clouds. The palm tree—a universal symbol of paradise, relaxation, and peace—stands in contrast to the text incorporated into the work. The text reflects themes of universal harmony, utopian and utilitarian philosophy, and the aspiration for a world where human needs are universally met. It embodies a hope for humanity to transcend its primitive, destructive tendencies and evolve toward a more peaceful existence.

He often times returns to existing themes or motifs with a fresh outlook after departing for periods of time.
