Description

Artists Statement

In “Pot of Gold,” I explore the sacred mathematics that underpin our universe, from the microscopic to the cosmic. This collection emerges from my fascination with how ancient sacred geometry symbols—representing the mathematical building blocks of creation—appear consistently throughout nature, art, and architecture across human history.

Working with fluid watercolour techniques allows me to surrender to organic processes, creating environments where control and chaos dance together. The addition of textural elements through plastic wrap and bubble wrap impressions introduces an element of planned serendipity—patterns emerge that I could never create by hand alone. Each piece contains a sacred geometry symbol rendered in gold leaf, representing the hidden mathematical perfection within apparent randomness.

Water and gold—fluid and fixed, chaos and order—create a dialogue throughout this collection. As viewers, we may recognize in these abstract forms both cellular structures and distant galaxies, flower petals and celestial bodies. This visual resonance across scale reminds us that the same mathematical principles organize both our bodies and the cosmos. Through this work, I invite viewers to contemplate how the sacred geometry of existence connects us to something greater than ourselves, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary.

Artwork 1: Cosmic Fluidity

 A dynamic explosion of blues, purples, and teals flows across the composition, creating an underwater dreamscape. Golden sacred geometry symbols float like mystical organisms amidst rippling watercolour currents. The piece evokes cellular structures and cosmic nebulae simultaneously, suggesting connections between microcosms and macrocosms. Accents created by adding solvent to create impressions adds dimensional movement, while gold leaf accents catch light to symbolize divine illumination within the fluid universe.

Artwork 2: Solar Garden

Vibrant sunflower-like forms emerge from a lush palette of greens, purples, and yellows. Sacred geometry elements in gold leaf anchor the circular motifs, representing the mathematical perfection found in nature. The artist skilfully balances defined floral forms with abstract colour blooms, creating a dreamlike garden that exists between worlds. Texture patterns suggest plant cellular structures, reinforcing the piece’s exploration of growth patterns in the natural world.

Artwork 3: Rosy Cosmos

Dominated by warm pinks, purples, and oranges, this piece creates an immersive field of circular forms reminiscent of celestial bodies and microscopic organisms. Gold leaf accents trace sacred patterns across the composition, connecting clusters of circular forms that suggest molecular structures or distant galaxies. The textural techniques create a sense of depth and dimension, inviting viewers to lose themselves in layers of translucent colour and mathematical harmony.

Artwork 4: Spring Awakening

Exuberant greens, yellows and purples burst forth in this celebration of regenerative energy. Circular forms overlap and interact, suggesting botanical specimens viewed through a microscope. The sacred geometry symbol in gold leaf at the centre creates a focal point of perfect order amidst the exuberant organic growth. Textural elements created through experimental techniques add tactile dimension, enhancing the sense of natural abundance and vitality.

Artwork 5: Celestial Garden

A meditative composition in harmonious greens, purples, and yellows creates a floating garden of circular forms. The sacred geometry symbol stands as a centre piece, drawing the eye through layers of transparent watercolour washes. Texture created through bubble wrap impressions suggests cellular patterns or aerial views of mysterious landscapes. The piece balances scientific precision with artistic spontaneity, inviting contemplation of patterns that connect all living systems.

Artwork 6: Cosmic Playground

Playful yellows, blues, and oranges create a luminous field where celestial bodies and atoms seem to dance in perfect harmony. Sacred geometry symbols in gold leaf anchor the composition while adding mysterious focal points. The artist’s masterful use of texture through plastic wrap creates dimensional currents that guide the eye through cosmic expanses. Star-like forms scattered throughout suggest a map of both inner and outer universes.

Artwork 7: Golden Bloom

Warm oranges, pinks, and blues create a luminous background for clustered circular forms that suggest blossoming flowers or cellular division. Sacred geometry patterns in gold leaf create points of perfect mathematical order within the organic exuberance. Textural elements add dimensional complexity, creating layers that invite visual exploration. The piece celebrates the hidden mathematical perfection within natural growth processes, revealing the sacred within the ordinary.
