Voyage of Discovery 24″x36″ Oil and Mixed Media

Voyage of Discovery was inspired by the captivating yet understated colors and shapes that gradually appear in the early winter landscape as the seasons change. The title comes from collage elements in the piece that read “Life is a Voyage of Discovery”.

Featured Abstract Oil Painting: Secret In The Sky

Secret in the Sky is about gaining perspective on your life.

When I started this painting, at first I couldn't connect to it. I felt too close to really see it, so I couldn't finish it. Instead, I turned it to face the wall.

A month later, when I finally turned it around and looked at it again, I started to see how the circles and negative space played off of each other.

It looked a little planetary, a little otherworldly. Like a photo of space. So I added trails of light around the circles to harmonize them and bring them into a balanced coexistence.

The “secret” in the title is about gaining perspective on your life. Sometimes, when you look up into the sky, it makes you realize that your troubles aren't really all that big in the vastness of the universe.

Every once in a while, we all need to get that kind of perspective. It makes all the difference.

 

Secret In The Sky is painted in oil with gold leaf on a 20" round canvas.

You can see Secret In The Sky, and other new paintings on my website, cynthialigeros.com. Thanks so much for looking!

Featured Abstract Oil Painting: Autumn's Hollow

Autumn's Hollow was inspired by a rainy night-time drive in late summer. The glow of tail lights on the windshield reminded me of a bold skyline of autumn leaves.

It made me want to experiment with the idea of circles changing colors, to represent the transitions of life -- from one time in your life to another, from one season into the next.

Autumn's Hollow is 12" x 12" and is currently available at Ugallery.com.

I also have other abstract oil paintings for sale on my website, cynthialigeros.com, and on UGallery.com. Thanks so much for looking!

One Crazy Way to Build Art Into Your Home (You Won't Believe It!)

This 20-foot-wide mural is just a small detail
of my abstract oil painting Luminous Night,
printed on recycled concrete tiles.

Art doesn't have to be something you hang on the wall. It can actually be the wall.

This week, my oil painting Luminous Night was turned into a 20-foot-wide mural, printed on concrete tiles made of recycled glass, using a $6 million printer.

The mural is on display in a tile showroom here in Denver.

This is just one example of the interesting ways you can incorporate art into your life today.

So be brave, think outside the box. Look for new ways that you can build art into your everyday life.

Don't be afraid to experiment!
