Canvas on cardboard, and plastic cone, 5.25 inch side octagon,

It happened, it finally happened! I have gathered enough energy since April of last year to post an image of another art piece. I love sharing my artistic creations with the world, but I lost my ardor to strive for acceptance from the art community, therefore there were only a few posts on my IG accounts and a lot of breaks.
Once again, the middle road between Fontana and Bonalumi appears to be the right call to escape the two dimensional plane. Bonalumi got it right and sculpted the 2-D surface that would eventually redefine the notion of color (-field) bas-relief (3-D). On the other hand, Fontana cleverly ripped the two dimensional space in order to allow another (virtual) dimension to be born. The beauty is that combining the two surface approaches enables a more realistic step between the two and three dimensions making the impossible (2.5-D) look, at least on an intellectual level, more realistic.
My (black) SDED-Octagon has a Bonalumi-like element that was passed through a Fontana-like space. I was always intrigued by compositions holding the same color, white on white, black on black, etc., and my octagon is exploring this never easy, simple yet rich monochrome combination.

Shadow Box
My passion for art draws me to create unique shadow boxes. The beauty of these wall decor art pieces is the picture frame. It gives consumers the option to personalize it with a picture of a loved one to admire for years to come. Art brings joy to any home.
