The Art of the Abstract
Abstract art has been around since the beginning of the twentieth century. Hilma af Klint, along with Wassily Kandinsky, were the first painters to devote their artistic careers to the practice of abstract art. Hilma was a Swedish artist and mystic who is considered to be one of the pioneers of abstract art. She was born in 1862 and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. She was also interested in spiritualism and Theosophy and participated in séances with a group of women called "The Five". She believed that her paintings were inspired by higher beings who communicated with her through her mediumship. She created hundreds of paintings and drawings that were mostly kept hidden from the public until after her death in 1944. Her work was rediscovered in the 1980s and has since gained recognition and appreciation from the art world. Her 2018 show at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum’s exhibition “Hilma Af Klint: Paintings for the Future” was the most-visited exhibition in the museum’s 60-year history.
Wassily Kandinsky was a Russian-born artist who is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of abstract art. He was born in 1866 and studied law and economics at the University of Moscow before moving to Munich to pursue his artistic career. According to some sources, Kandinsky saw Monet’s haystacks painting in 1895 when he visited an exhibition of French impressionists in Moscow. He was fascinated by Monet’s use of color and light, and he realized that painting could go beyond depicting reality. He later wrote that Monet’s haystacks were “the first impressionist picture that had a really powerful impact on me” and that they "made me suddenly realize that painting has a life of its own." He believed that art should express inner feelings and emotions rather than imitate external reality. He experimented with different forms, colors, and symbols to create his own abstract language of painting.
I’ve always been fascinated by abstract art with its ability to move the viewer through the use of shapes, forms, and color. It was said that when people viewed Mark Rothko’s paintings it would bring tears to their eyes.
The Moths is a vibrant exploration of form and color, where the mysterious beauty of moths is reimagined through the lens of abstract art. This moth series of artworks capture the delicate intricacies and vivid hues of these nocturnal creatures. Each piece is a celebration of the moth's transformative journey, rendered in a bold kaleidoscope of colors that challenge the boundaries of traditional representation. Immerse yourself in a world where the flutter of wings takes on new dimensions, inviting you to interpret the silent language of moths in your own unique way.

In the vast canvas of the cosmos, where stars are born and galaxies dance in the silent waltz of space, a discovery stirred the hearts of the human race. The **Hubble Successor Telescope**, peering deep into the universe's enigmatic abyss, unveiled a quartet of exoplanets: **Basaan, Trayonous, Sapatso, and Neachy**. These celestial bodies orbited a star reminiscent of our own sun but in a constellation unseen by the naked eye.
The discovery of these four exoplanets sparked a new era of exploration. It was a call to the dreamers, the scientists, and the adventurers. Humanity looked to the stars with renewed vigor, united by the shared quest to unravel the mysteries of Basaan, Trayonous, Sapatso, and Neachy. And as the telescopes continued to gaze upward, the universe whispered back stories of worlds beyond our own, waiting to be discovered.

Summer in the deserts of America’s southwest can be brutal, well the deserts can be brutal throughout the year, but the summer is the cruelest – unrelenting sun and heat, extremely low humidity, and vast expanses of uninhabited land. But as brutal as it can be, the beauty of the desert, at least for me, is unmatched in nature. The four artworks that make up the Sonoran Summer series represent to me the beauty of the desert at its most extreme – the summer.

The Lake Region is nestled in the embrace of an area of rolling hills, a small community that thrives beside a vast, tranquil lake. As autumn's touch painted the foliage with fiery hues, the townspeople prepared for the season's change. The air grew crisp, and the scent of burning wood from fireplaces began to mingle with the earthy aroma of fallen leaves.
As winter's first frost caressed the ground, the community was transformed once again. The lake, now a sheet of glassy ice, held the memory of summer beneath its icy crust. The trees stood bare, their branches like outstretched fingers against the gray sky. The community, resilient and close-knit, adapted to the shorter days and longer nights. Ice fishing tents dotted the lake, and people traded their bicycles for skates. The heart of the community remained vibrant, beating steadily through the cold of winter, a testament to the enduring spirit of the people of the Lake Region.

In the northern reaches of the Rocky Mountains, where the air is crisp and the forests whisper secrets of old, there exist four roses unlike any other. They are known as the Whispering Roses, each residing in its own niche within the mountain's embrace. The Whispering Blue Rose, Whispering Red Rose, Whispering Pink Rose, and finally, the Whispering Yellow Rose—each holds a tale woven into the fabric of the wild.
The Whispering Blue Rose dwells in the shadow of a great cliff, where the sky meets the earth. Its petals are the color of the twilight sky, and it sings songs of the stars and the moon. The rose whispers of the night's mysteries, of the creatures that roam under the moon's watchful eye, and of the dreams that are born when the world is asleep.
Nestled in a meadow kissed by the sun, the Whispering Red Rose blooms with a fiery passion. Its petals are as red as the heart of the mountain, and its whispers speak of love and courage. It tells tales of adventurers who have traversed the rugged paths and of the bonds that form when hearts beat in unison against the odds.
The Whispering Pink Rose is found by a babbling brook, its delicate petals reflecting the gentle hues of dawn. It whispers of the softness of the morning dew, of the first light that touches the earth, and of the tender moments that are shared in the quiet of the morning. It speaks of the gentle side of nature, of the nurturing embrace of the earth, and of the beauty that lies in the simple things.
At the edge of a clearing, where the forest gives way to the golden fields, stands the Whispering Yellow Rose. Its bright petals are a testament to the joy of life, and its whispers are filled with laughter and sunlight. It shares stories of the playfulness of the forest creatures, of the dance of the butterflies, and of the warmth that spreads when the sun smiles upon the land.
Together, the four Whispering Roses of the northern Rockies form a symphony of stories, each unique yet part of a greater whole. They speak to those who listen, sharing the wisdom of the mountains and the forest. And as the seasons change, their whispers continue to echo through the valleys, a timeless melody of the wild, a reminder that even in silence, there is a song to be heard.
