Oil on Canvas. 24″x36″. 2015

In creating this piece, I blended acrylics, oil, collage, and resin to forge an evocative tableau where finery meets surreal contemplation. The umbrella, blossoming with currency, symbolizes the pervasive shield of wealth in modern society. A man, face partially obscured, clutches this emblem of economic safeguard, a subtle nod to the anonymity in the pursuit of affluence. This artwork is a powerful conversation starter, adding a layer of philosophical introspection to any space it inhabits.
