Back

Both I and the kids have thoroughly enjoyed creating this mind stimulating abstract artwork that draws inspiration from the optical illusion styles of transformation and hidden images to the works by renowned artists MC Escher, Oleg Shupliak and Ocativio Ocampo using the elements from my yin-yang opposites painting.


The front represents Day time. 

Activities, meditativeness, and quiet serenity of nature, elements included from my painting are the flowers, swans, colors of the day. 

the image is metamorphic to include three different images, approach from the left you will see meditativeness, from the left the swans forming a face in the background and the center is a rising Sun image , meditator and a person enjoying the morning scene. The petals hide in them people doing Sun Salutation doing yoga, the hills are horses, the trees are the lake itself and the hair of mother nature.


The Back represents Night time: 

The quietude and coolness of night follows the activeness of the day as a perpetual cycle of growth represented by The Golden Section spiral.  The single shell expands into the waves, sky and then into the galaxy, all based on the revered Golden section spiral. The marks on the shells have been rendered with hidden images of birds, children flying kites, a lion , deer with lots of animals in its antlers, the beach , Dolphins, waves, dragons, corals using elements and colors from my painting from the water section in my painting.


This Sun Sculpture is a testimony to " Creativity is Intelligence having fun "
