At the heart of LifeExpressions is the commitment to capturing the essence of a person's life and passions. From beloved hobbies and treasured memories to personal milestones and aspirations, these paintings serve as a vibrant representation of what truly makes someone special. With every brushstroke, the artist encapsulates the joy and depth of each individual's journey. The result is a visually striking painting that not only reflects their interests and achievements but also acts as a cherished keepsake for years to come.
LifeExpressions offers a truly lovely experience, ensuring that every detail of the painting is crafted with utmost care and precision. From the selection of colors and textures to the arrangement of elements, each artwork is uniquely tailored to tell the story of its subject. Whether it's a tribute to a loved one, a celebration of friendship, or a personal indulgence, LifeExpressions transforms emotions and passions into tangible works of art. Capturing the essence of the person and what they love in life is very important to achieve in this type of painting.
This very distinctive LifeExpressions commission, titled, Indigo Child was created for a very special person. I immediately thought of the dragonfly for this particular commission and incorporated it as the main part of the circle art since I had also designed this person's dragonfly tattoo. My intuition guided me throughout the painting and I also added several free-form design elements around the circle. Also notice a small, stylized dragonfly in the center of the circle and outside the circle are smaller stylized dragonflies surrounding the larger circle.
Dragonflies symbolize transformation, adaptability and change. It is also a sign of self-realization and understanding the deeper meaning of life. I used purples, greens, oranges and yellows as the colors for this LifeExpressions commission.
This piece was created in archival and acrylic inks, both waterproof. LifeExpressions commissions are painted on an 8"x8" (unless another size is determined, but they are always square) cradled substrate that is archival and acid-free. The finished painting is protected with several coats of satin (low-sheen) acrylic polymer varnish which is resistant to chemicals, water, abrasion and ultraviolet radiation. I paint the sides of the cradled panel with an acrylic color that compliments the colors in the painting. Cradled panels allow you to hang your work with no additional framing. I also include a hanging hook and nail for your convenience.
NOTE: Please do not hang your fine art painting in direct sunlight. The painting is non-repairable if it is accidentally scratched or marred in any way. Lightly dust off occasionally with a cotton cloth and nothing else.
