Description
"A Cactus Flower Bouquet"
"A Cactus Flower Bouquet" was inspired by my original photography of a cactus flower I viewed near Georgia O’Keefe’s compound and museum in Abiquiu, New Mexico -- then turned to contemporary paintography art right here in my little studio in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina via the thread of interest that runs through what I paint on canvas, or on paper, or in a digital way.
Here the appreciation of O’Keefe and her work in the southwest USA also pays respect to cultural elements-- to First Nations, Hopi and to the great Zuni stories.
Good vibes: This could make an AWESOME duvet cover.The Hopi Cactus Rose, after all, is a SYMBOL of Warmth, Protection and Endurance references solidarity with Earth and Mother Nature.
Here is a combination of delight and Lyrical Abstraction-- created from what was around me by photograph, then translated into a digital rendering that reaches out to create the narrative as texture, fractals, patterns, repetition, and this collage appear....

THANK YOU for looking and considering my art work and images. Your time and your comments are prized! If you like to make text suggestions, please do contact me. Again, I appreciate your comments, social media support and future visits.
A NOTE FOR VIEWERS: THIS image was created “specifically” to highlight compassion. Possibly, it will be just the thing that works for you.
ZSANAN STUDIO NOTES:: I hope you will find a connection here - linger awhile, possibly start a conversation about the elements - spaces, lines, textures and rhythms or themes that speak to you. As we - each of us- (and also as a collection of living creatures) - face the fraught process of selection every day- may we find what is positive and possible.
Please do look for interpretations of outer/inner landscapes with a persistent focus on patterns and bold or unusual color. Photo and digital manipulation mostly NOT an accurate interpretation, seek to explore the essence of the subject - shapes, colors, forms, textures, layering and the overall gestalt – for an effect. Expect glimpses of reality from unusual perspectives and image-making prompted by nature.
ZSANAN STUDIO PHILOSOPHY: “NOT AN IMAGE BUT AN EXPERIENCE”--
As we - each of us- (and as a collection of living creatures) - face the fraught process of selection every day- may we find what is positive and possible.
"Perception is everything in art. The artist goal is to influence the viewer to see the world as the artist does. This can change the viewers mood, their mind, their outlook - even if only for a limited time." Lutz Baar
SYMBOLISM:: In this paintography piece, the juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change through envisioning creative perspectives. Here the story of longing for connection highlights an impetus for change with compassion.
METHOD:: I create visual narratives from what is around me- make sketches into canvas work, then take a photo creating a mixed media digital rendering such as what you see in this piece. I reach out for the story and metaphor via texture, patterns, repetition - a feeling of lyrical abstraction of elements offering a sense of collaboration - a collection of concepts and forms taking shape.
BEHIND THE SCENES: When you visit my website or studio in Asheville, North Carolina – you may discover that I love to tell stories- visual stories. My narrative art, in mixed media – (pencil, ink, paint, photo work and textured applications) – often unfolds as a collage. There is an emphasis on color and texture, and hidden bits to surprise the viewer. Whether on paper, canvas, or as a digital rendering - “contemporary mixed media art” -the purpose, the raison d'être is to celebrate life.
