Two Mulleins

2025

This vibrant mixed media collage masterfully layers paint, paper ephemera, and ink illustration across a canvas divided into two dynamic color fields. The upper-left quadrant blazes with warm amber and burnt orange acrylic washes, boldly interrupted by diagonal black hazard stripes that lend an urban, graphic energy. The right and lower portions transition to a cool, textured cerulean blue, creating a striking visual tension between warmth and coolness, urgency and calm. Collage elements include torn pages of multilingual text (English and Spanish), a vintage street map fragment, a classic United States postage stamp, and a hand-rendered mullein illustrations, all layered with deliberate artistic intention.
