Firmament on view at the Cristina Dos Santos Gallery, New York, 2010
About
The Sky Element series is composed of three parts: Firmament Profondo, Cynosure. Firmament is composed of six large paintings, named for the celestial dome of the heavens. These paintings traverse the spectrum from a surreal turquoise to a deep dark blue to evoke a highly energetic sensation of expansion in motion.

Profondo series: Acrylic Paint & Metal on Canvas Panels 81” x 45”
Cynosure
Cynosure the third and last collection in the Element series, comes from the ancient name for the constellation Ursa Minor which has seven stars. These seven paintings represent this constellation and are also intended to be a guide.
