Palms of Las Lajas
This oil painting is a vibrant and imaginative landscape combining elements of nature with abstract patterns. At the forefront, tall palm trees stand prominently, their textured trunks and lush green fronds reaching upwards. The way the light falls creates dynamic shadows and varying hues of green on the grass and foliage, lending a sense of depth and warmth.<br><br>The midground reveals a quaint, small house painted with earthy tones of red and brown, nestled comfortably amidst the trees. Its presence adds a human element to this otherwise wild and natural setting, inviting thoughts of solitude or retreat.<br><br>The sky is particularly striking and unusual—it is not a typical expanse of blue but filled with an intricate, swirling mosaic of blues, whites, and soft yellows arranged in a pattern that resembles a maze or a digital circuitry., but is really inspired by the Kuna Indian “Mola”. This abstract, almost cosmic backdrop contrasts sharply yet harmoniously with the organic forms of the palm trees and grass. It suggests a symbolic layering of nature with the complexity of human thought or technology.
Tropical Getaway
This vibrant painting offers a stylized and somewhat surreal depiction of a tropical beach scene. Four tall palm trees with lush, dark green fronds lean gracefully towards the right, their golden-brown trunks curving slightly as if gently swayed by a sea breeze. The bright yellow sand contrasts beautifully with the deep blues and greens of the ocean and sky.<br>What stands out most is the sky, rendered not as a typical gradient or cloud-filled expanse but as an intricate Kuna Indian(Mola) inspired tapestry of abstract, swirling patterns in various shades of blues. These patterns breathe an almost hypnotic, lyrical quality into the scene, suggesting a dreamlike or meditative state rather than a strict naturalistic view.<br>The undulating ocean waves are painted in layered bands of green and blue, adding depth and movement to the composition. The overall effect is one of warmth, calm, and otherworldly beauty, blending realism with abstract expressionism.<br>
Grande Vista de Cerro Punta
This oil painting bursts with vivid, swirling colors, capturing a captivating, almost dreamlike landscape. The foreground is dominated by lush green hills, rendered with intricate texture that suggests dense foliage and rolling terrain. They curl and rise confidently, guiding the eye toward a winding river or path that meanders from the bottom left, sparkling with bright, creamy whites and soft yellows, adding a sense of motion.<br><br>Behind this verdant foreground lie fields painted in warm yellows and golden hues, Kuna Indian indigenous icons interspersed throughout, solitary trees that punctuate the scene with delicate spots of green and brown. These fields stand out sharply against a dramatic mountain range in the distance. The mountains are a masterpiece of color layering — deep purples, blues, and rich indigos kiss their peaks and shadows, while glowing oranges and reds light their ridges, giving them an ethereal quality, as if touched by otherworldly light.<br><br>The sky is particularly striking, swirling with patterns of reds and pinks that resemble abstract, organic shapes, almost like fingerprints or waves, creating a sense of dynamic energy and motion above the tranquil earth belo
Coltrane in the Sky
This oil painting is a vibrant and soulful depiction of the recording artist - Sonny Fortune. Sonny is playing the saxophone dressed in a white shirt and a tan hat, emitting a sense of coolness and confidence. His posture and the way he holds his instrument capture a moment of deep musical engagement and expression, seemingly lost in the world of his own melody.<br><br>Behind him, a city skyline at night stretches across the canvas, the buildings painted in dark, silhouette-like shades that contrast strikingly with the colorful sky above. The sky itself is a dreamscape of swirling blues, purples, and reds, evoking the emotional and often improvisational nature of jazz music. The colors flow and merge like sound waves or musical notes drifting through the air.<br><br>Most striking is the large, almost ghostly blue portrait of the legendary John Coltrane in the night sky, looking down over the musician and city. Coltrane symbolizes as a legendary jazz musician, a muse, or the spirit of jazz itself, is watching over and inspiring the living artist below. The use of the cosmic and night sky symbolism ties the earthly act of music-making to something timeless and universal, emphasizing jazz as not
Bright valley
This vibrant oil painting is inspired by my experiences in the Republic of Panama. It radiates an energetic and psychedelic aura, with a swirling tapestry of colors that blend and contrast in a dynamic flow. The composition is vertical, drawing the eye upwards from the dark, pointed shapes at the bottom, reminiscent of sharp, elongated leaves like abstract flames reaching skyward. These dark blue and black spikes frame the lower portion of the piece, giving a grounding contrast to the bright, vivid hues above.<br><br>The middle section bursts with a kaleidoscope of greens, yellows, purples, and oranges, evoking a fantastical landscape that could be interpreted as rolling hills or flowing water under an unseen light. The shapes here are organic and fluid, almost as if the scene is alive and undulating. Fine details with dotted and linear patterns embellish these forms, adding texture and intricate visual interest, inviting closer inspection.<br><br>Toward the top, softer yellows, oranges, and whites swirl in a dance of light, suggesting warmth, sunlight, or a sunrise breaking through a complex horizon. The patterns in this section resemble a series of delicate waves or currents, echoing themes
Moms Laughter is my Sunshine
This oil painting bursts with vivid colors and profound emotional energy. The dominant feature is a colossal sun as the face of my Mother, animated with a broad, infectious laughter that instantly conveys warmth and joy. Her face is rendered in bright oranges and reds, radiating a lively energy that feels almost tangible. Her eyes are closed in bliss, and the curled lips and visible teeth suggest a hearty, genuine laugh.<br><br>Surrounding her face, yellow and orange flames radiate outwards, symbolizing warmth, life, and vitality—a classic representation of the sun as a life-giving force. The use of fiery colors emphasizes both heat and happiness.<br>Beneath this radiant celestial figure, a group of faceless silhouettes in blue stand with arms raised or gesturing upwards. As the sun’s rays cover them - their color changes. The blue contrasts strikingly with the fiery colors above, possibly symbolizing earth or humanity in calm contrast to the sun’s energetic heat. The facelessness could imply universality—these figures could represent any group of people coming together in celebration or reverence of the sun’s life-affirming presence.<br><br>Culturally and symbolically, the sun is often a symbol
