Sun
Come, sit and be
Light that manifests as free.
Through patterns that we might know,
All life here needs the Sun to grow.
If you insist and go too close,
You might need to use a hose
To dim the fire that might burn
The impatience and stubbornness’ yearn.
But if you center and enjoy,
The Sun’s warmth fills you with joy.
Only if you allow and know,
Will it melt the old soul’s far away snow.
If you choose to be who you really are,
The Sun is perfect. Not too close, not too far.
Let’s not forget it’s our home’s star.

metallic foils
Painting created on canvas on chassis, that focuses on the Sun through various techniques and symbols. The background was made with colored encaustic and pastels (pigments blended at high temperatures), resembling the solar surface by the usage of hues of white, yellow, orange and red. The central sphere was built with white encaustic, carefully created (sculpted) in order for it to have clear lines and contours, that accentuate the shape and suggest dynamism; the rays are suggested in a minimalistic way, with thin straight yellow encaustic lines, tridimensional elements that focus on the effects (not just visual ones) that this star has on life on Earth, the Solar System and the entire Universe.
The Sun’s value is emphasized also by the presence of the yellow metallic foils attached on the tridimensional white sphere’s surface, creating a special effect, by its shine and the optical illusions made by the overlapping of 2 and 3 D shapes.
An unique and complex painting, that generates warmth, dynamism, power and vitality.
