The World Puzzled is inspired by the current world climate and the various challenges humanity is facing whilst exposing utopia through magical realism. The continents (in various shades of red) represent our world in turmoil connecting with the oceans (in blue) as a cry for freedom. They are intertwined by a golden stretch that expresses humanity’s hope for a better world.

Technique:

• splattering and poring technique and washed blended paint to create unexpected colour patterns;
• various texture pastes added to create a dramatic effect and a three-dimension of the painting’s surface;
• additional layers of paint create a sense of depth and play with light effect.
