Fluidity of Universal Time Poured watercolors, acrylics, UV varnish on canvas Size: 18 x 24" In recent years, the universe has been an intriguing source of inspiration. I have created a series of three unique versions of the universe: “Window on my universe” , “Doorways to alternate universes” and now my third painting of this series, which I call: “Fluidity of universal time.” In this painting I once again look to retreat into my imagination and examine time and our universe through the lens of my “mind’s eye” . For this painting I examine not only what I imagine the celestial world looks like but also the concept of time. With a little help from Salvador Dali, I conclude that our interpretation of time is relative to our uniquely different fluid views.

Outside Inside Acrylic on Canvas Board Size of Piece: 24 x 30 I feel that every human being is like a portal. We first encounter the external frame, but an entire universe unfolds as we step through the doors. Our inner world shapes our outer reality, just as the outer world, in turn, influences our inner state. A lingering sense of loneliness etches itself into our expressions, while a habit of noticing beauty and goodness softens our features, bringing light to our presence. Perhaps the most powerful anti-aging secret is a genuine smile—one born from childlike trust in life, the belief that everything is unfolding as it should, and the certainty that our adventures are limitless. There is an ever-present, knowing part of us—an angelic essence—watching over, guiding, and smiling at our journey through our many mystical paths. This painting emerged as an unfolding, evolving process that presented infinite possibilities until I realized it was not about choosing a single direction. Instead, I was capturing a state of being, a process of disc. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Curls Chinese Ink on Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper Size: 26 x 22" My latest series captures sunflowers in the process of aging to explore the third act of life; the search for new purpose.

Blown Away by a Namesake Painting: Oil, acrylic and found objects on canvas Size: 27 x 23" "Blown Away by a Namesake" explores the duality of the hand grenade, highlighting the surprising etymological connection between the weapon and the fruit. In many languages, the two share a name, a link that stems from their visual resemblance: the pomegranate packed with seeds, the grenade packed with shrapnel. I was drawn to how a fruit, a symbol of abundance, and a weapon, a symbol of destruction, could be so closely tied through language and form. By using contrasting imagery and styles, the paintings move beyond literal resemblance to suggest deeper ideas. They speak to the coexistence of creation and destruction, beauty and violence, abundance and fragmentation, and the stark contrasts that reveal the dualities in language, objects, and the narratives we build around them. The artwork challenges us to find beauty in unexpected places and to recognize the complex interplay between creation and destruction that shapes our existence.

It could manifest as a harmonious composition, a symphony of hues, or a transient observation reverberating with a smoldering emotion's echoes. The impulse to metamorphose this ephemeral vision into a tangible form eclipses my cognitive and emotional terrain, propelling me into creative fervor. In that moment, the world around me dissolves, and I become an alchemist, transmuting the intangible into a visceral, evocative expression that captures the essence of that singular, transcendent experience.oil on canvas

Moon in the Water Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 48 x 36
My painting was inspired by a phrase used by Master Dogen (1200-1253), the founder of Zen Buddhism, when teaching about the ineffable experience of enlightenment -- "moon in the water". The moon being a symbol of enlightenment and the water referring to the human mind freed of the obscuration of incessant thinking, thus becoming like an empty, open mirror able to clearly reflect the true nature of reality, allowing the direct experience of one's own true nature. "Old pond... frog jumps in kerplop!" --Matsuo Basho

Terra, the Primordial Breath Acrylic on Canvas, Oil Pastels, Gesso, Inks, Paper Size: 48 x 36" This piece was inspired by the idea of Earth’s very first breath—raw, sacred, and full of potential. The deep, textured browns at the base represent the primordial ground, untouched and alive with energy. I built up layers slowly, letting the textures emerge naturally, almost like the Earth forming itself. The lighter transition at the top suggests air and life beginning to stir—a shift from matter to spirit. I worked intuitively, letting the process mirror nature’s own rhythm of creation and transformation. It’s less about depicting a place and more about capturing a feeling: the quiet power of beginnings.

Poppies Recycled Brown Bags & Acrylic Collage on Canvas Size of Piece: 24 x 36 x 2 My work is a reminder of the peaceful, centered energy of the miraculous, natural living world which surrounds us. My collages are made from torn, recycled brown shopping bags that I first paint with acrylics and then rip them and adhere the pieces to canvas. I am interested in the concept that the bags started out as trees and then were made into paper which was torn and collaged into an image of the natural world, which in itself provided the required inspiration and energy. I hope that the viewer thinks that they are looking at beautiful and serene paintings at first glance, then discover that they are viewing a collage that involved a painstaking genesis in the studio. Each is the product of many months or years of work.In addition, the pieces are often autobiographical.

Anastasia. The Firebird Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 30 x 24 Dinner with my nonagenarian friends inspired this piece and is why i called it "Social Hour" I decided to render them through colors and shapes so the focus would be on the connection between them and on the mood of the moment rather than on their features. What I see, hear, feel and experience makes its way into my art. Growing up in multiple cultures influences my work, and my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache and love to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. At times my work is autobiographical as I aim to tell a story, convey a feeling, or share memories. In Social Hour my focus was on friendship and aging. Through the use of vibrant colors, a sense of movement, and unexpected imagery, I hope the viewer is drawn into my work in a way that provides space for their own interpretation.

Free the Songbird (Tapestry of Nature / Endangered)Size: 34 x 42" My lifelong passions have been the diversity of humanity and nature. My ‘Endangered body of work’ was begun fifteen years ago uniting the concepts of human diversity and the biodiversity of nature. I use Mother Earth and Mother Nature metaphorically for women since many find themselves in situations of endangerment globally. I try not to sensationalize because I want the viewer to reflect and internalize the art. Fifteen years ago there were 42,000 endangered species of wildlife and plant life, but now the number is over a million. With the Earth suffering from climate change, deforestation, overfishing, pollution, poaching, and war, we must remedy what we have created through global partnership. Within the work there is urgency but also an element of hope because we can all engage in the stewardship of nature and help others to appreciate the diversity of our own species.

Two Critical Questions Acrylic Size of Piece: 42 x 51 x 1.5 Hayoon Jay Lee is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the tension between indulgence and abnegation as it exists in terms of mind and body as well as on a socio-political level. Her work locates points of contact between Korean material tradition and Western avant-garde vocabulary by using rice shape and rice as an object, motif, commodity, and metaphor. As a building block of civilizations and a marker of wealth differences, rice allows Lee to conceptually play with points of conflict conceptually — oscillating between attraction and repulsion, between Orient and Occident— with the aim of ultimately encouraging reflection on the different ways our conditions and fates are interlinked. Renowned for integrating rice-inspired motifs and organic, visceral shapes in her paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, and videos, Lee’s work features figures embedded within rice forms. This highlights the deep connection between food and life. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Shahnameh Oil on Canvas Size of Piece: 36 x 48 The painting is inspired by childhood memories. Somehow, translations of Persian texts of Ferdowsi's poems Shahnameh penetrated into Siberia behind the Iron Curtain.

U.S. Constitution on a knot Sculpture: Carrara marble and granite Size of Piece: 36 x 22 x 26"
Political parties in the United States are fighting against each other and can’t agree on anything. Everyone is in a knot. So I decided to make a literal knot out of the Constitution, held up with a carving of my hands. My hands, my statement. - Robin Antar “U.S. Constitution in a Knot” is a symbolic piece featuring the U.S. Constitution as a document, with all seven articles, tied into a knot, representing the complexities and challenges within the nation's principles. The intertwined form reflects current turmoil, while intricately detailed hands symbolize individual responsibility and the struggle to uphold these values. The sculpture rests on a pile of rough granite chips, highlighting themes of fragmentation and disarray, contrasting with the smooth marble. Overall, it serves as a poignant commentary on the chaotic state of the nation, embodying both despair and determination in the effort to maintain important values amidst societal conflict.
