Masterpiece of hues, an artist’s gold.

Here is a vibrant and colorful landscape filled with surreal, whimsical creatures and plants in the style of a psychedelic garden! I created a series of scenes that includes rivers, mountains, forests, clouds, stars, rainbows, plants, animals, patterns, and intricate details. These are 3 separate pieces; together or separate, it is an abstract artwork that uses bold colors to create depth and texture. It has a dreamlike quality with soft lighting that casts gentle shadows on its surface. In the background there is a night sky.

We Were Animals Once
Read moreWe Were Animals Once (2025). This is a piece that envisions the layered realities of memory, culture, and place. Animals are our first toys (at least for some of us children of the 80’s) and memories of these tiny plastic tokens in the shape of animals that at that age we consider dangerous, but in playtime they become our friends. In the process they shape our personality into being separate from the animal, and denying or failing to see we are also animals. Because we are tiny we are larger and in control of the animal now shrunk into a toy. This piece reflects directly on the sense Beneath a vast moon that glows like a cosmic guardian, toy animals and a child’s doll gather before the skyline of Queens, New York. A parrot—emblem of migration and survival—watches over this surreal assembly, carrying Caribbean memory into the urban landscape. The painting bridges the intimacy of childhood with the complexity of adult identity, recalling a time when small plastic animals became our first companions. Through play, we learned dominance and tenderness, forgetting that we too are animals. The layered composition—part dream, part recollection—merges nostalgia, diaspora, and ecological awareness. The toys, both fragile and eternal, speak to the persistence of imagination, the separation from innocence, and the universality of play. In the end, the work reminds us that our earliest understanding of kinship began with creatures, real and imagined, who continue to shape the stories of who we are. Childhood never leaves us, yet we become separate from it as adults. But in the end, as in the beginning, we all play with the same toys.

Caribbean Birds
Read moreCaribbean Birds (2020) Is a digital painting that depicts a vibrant, abstract scene with a focus on stylized birds amidst a colorful, dynamic background. The birds are depicted in a fluid, artistic manner with exaggerated features and vivid colors. I decided to use primary colors in the image to achieve warm oranges, reds, and yellows, contrasted by cooler greens and blues.
The style is reminiscent of a modern, abstract painting with a blend of surrealism. The use of sweeping, curvilinear lines and organic shapes gives the composition a sense of movement and liveliness. The background features a mix of soft, blended colors and sharp, defined lines, adding depth and complexity to the overall piece. The image evokes a sense of freedom and natural beauty, captured through an imaginative and artistic lens.
