Metaphor of My Soul
Project type
Bird, Acrylic
Date

Location
Santa Fe, NM
Painted in acrylic on 4" x 4" gallery-style canvas, this colorful hummingbird sits in a three quarter pose. The lines are alive with nervous energy both inherited from & giving life to the subject. The dark lines form a top layer with the bold color space seemingly sinking deep into the canvas behind it. This hyper-reality invites the viewer to look deep into the image & explore the different texture regions. Removing themselves from a literal interpretation of the piece and instead delving into the spiritual and symbolic meaning of the hummingbird's presence. The Metaphor of My Soul painting seeks to explore the intersection of nature, art, and spiritual symbolism through vibrant and expressive paintings.
