Sparks

I wanted this piece to convey the joy and richness of an ordinary meal. Food – its color, aroma, taste, and texture – is often deeply linked to certain feelings or memories because of its involvement in so many of our senses. The reference was taken at a meal I shared with my best friend. Through my use of vibrant colors and intense detail, I wanted to capture the sensory experience of eating the food along with the emotions I associate with that memory. This piece was also experimental in its use of an altered color palette, where the colors were intended to enhance the experience of the painting.
