Pinon Pine

2024

This richly layered mixed media collage presents a sprawling, expressive pinon pine rendered in deep forest greens and blacks, its gnarled branches spreading dynamically across a vividly chromatic background. The canopy is composed of stylized, swirling leaf clusters with spiral motifs in chartreuse and olive, giving the foliage an almost dreamlike, decorative quality reminiscent of Gustav Klimt's ornamental sensibility. The bark and branches are depicted with warm, naturalistic tones of tan and sienna, contrasting powerfully against the electrifying background palette.
