Echoes of Ruby Lights

Dusk descends, casting shadows across ornately decorated walls, where traces of gold paint shimmer like faded dreams. The air carries a faint, jasmine and musk, a scent favored by the Mughal empress. Were these the scents that mingled with laughter on joyous occasions? Or perhaps a melancholy echo of a lost love story? The silence speaks volumes, prompting me to imagine the vibrant life that once sparkled in these halls, a life now preserved only in the echoes of these walls.
Get to Know the Austin Artist:
I use acrylic paint on canvas to create vibrant, ethereal compositions. Bold, abstract backgrounds lay the foundation, line-drawn architectural details come to life using acrylic ink markers, and oversized flowers are painted in. The interplay of contrasting technique, scale and colour employed in my work mirrors the contrasts found in urban landscapes.
The canvas becomes a vibrant playground, inviting viewers to explore the intersection of nature in urban spaces. Each painting acts as a portal, transporting viewers worldwide, encouraging them to embrace the unique beauty of cities. My art fosters exploration, urging individuals to uncover the stories beneath the surface, capturing moments and encouraging a broader understanding of our interconnected world.
