An Ode to Picasso

printed on abalone, This abstraction is based on a vision of night swimming amongst phosphorescence. Replacing the blue waves with gold to illuminate the riches of our vast oceans and reveling in the fact that we get to be a drop within this intoxicating mAstery.

Picasso's work is largely inspired by the onset of photography. When He saw his friend's photographs of people swimming underwater, it inspired him to paint fractured beings based on the swimmers' bodies which were fragmented by the water. This artwork is an ode to the ways we inspire one another throughout

space & time.
