Sisterhood

acrylic painting on stretched canvas
12 x 12

My paintings draw inspiration from the patchwork embroidery of western India, especially the vibrant palette, bold contrasts, and geometric, abstract forms. I build layered shapes and repeating patterns into a single, cohesive composition that carries a story and a sense of place. I usually start with only a loose idea of the subject, then let the work evolve as it’s made, allowing the colors, shapes, and forms to lead the way.
The painting shows four women standing together, their heads gently inclined toward one another, creating a sense of intimacy. The surface feels textile-like, almost embroidered, with repeated marks that feel like folk traditions. Despite the complexity, the patterns flow together into a cohesive whole rather than competing for attention.

Description

I’m a fan of the Divine Comedy and have Florentine ancestry. When Beatrice died, Dante realized “only through love for his Beatrice would he be able to reach the divine.” I thought if I, as an artist, could resurrect their relationship to the present time, I would place them cosily side-by-side on a sofa watching TV. Beatrice chooses the film. Dante holds the remote.
