SAHARA SUNSET
SAHARA SUNSET
Sahara Sunset, acrylic on canvas, 30" x 24", 2018.
This elemental acrylic work explores a profound longing for a lost ancestral identity and the instinctive fight to reclaim it. Titled "Sahara Sunset," the piece uses a saturated, unmixed palette to reflect a history the artist felt intuitively and instinctively, despite it being stripped away by a system that prioritizes corporate monotony and profit over true cultural depth.
Technically, the opaque, direct application of paint reveals a burgeoning ability channeled through the limited tools and energy available during a season of depression. Rather than technical polish, the work prioritizes the heart of the subject—a silhouette of endurance.
