Misty Pop was created to calm any storm and create a nice relaxing atmosphere. The icy, snowy white is tamed by the warm peaches with some subtle pops of green and blue. This piece is versatile enough to fit in many spaces.

Bring some warmth to your home.

The Autumn Tree

This piece is close to my heart and home town. Fall is one of our common seasons in Canada and one of the most colorful. The reddish, orange abstract tree symbolizes the most common leaf color we have that comes tumbling down before the start of winter.

This piece exhibits a nice symmetry and just calls out home with every gaze.

In the Forest

This piece made me think of a whimsical, enchanted wilderness when I was making it. Like I was to encounter my prince charming in these magical woods one day.

The color splashes in the middle are meant to be the bright shadows of two lovers finally coming together and the start of their new young love flourishing in these lands. 

This painting was meant to symbolize that you will find your match one day. With some time and patience, dreams do come true!

Which is quite interesting as I really met my Prince charming on the train.

Thinking In Color... My Leo...miaou miaou

When my father passed, my life took a turn. Many things changed and I wanted to honor his memory. I was told, that that happens a lot when a parent passes and then I became a believer when it happened to me. Anyone who has lost a parent can probably tell you the same.

My father's zodiac sign was Leo. This painting is an abstract lion and reminds me of him with every gaze. Just follow the shape. The middle which is more of a brown is the lion's face. The rest of the colors going around it are forming his big thick colorful maine. The lion is the ultimate king of the jungle and symbolizes power. My father was quite powerful inside out and raised the bar high.

Whenever I need to recharge, there he is looking down on me, giving me what I need.

Maybe he can do the same for you...

Mrs. Chuckles

Mrs. Chuckles was made to be an entertainer. She just wants to laugh out loud and is just holding back a little! I made her with that expression and froze her in time to remind people that we've all been in her shoes.

I made her to keep me smiling and keep me stuck in the moment right before bursting out and laughing out loud. To hold on to that extreme rush before the outburst.

She also has a heart painted on her cheek on purpose to keep love going strong in people's hearts.

Stairway to Heaven

When my father passed, I was praying that he would end up in Heaven. Pretty cliché, but true. I kept signing the Eric Clapton's song "Tears In Heaven" in my head for days.

I made this painting in memory of him, with colors that soothed me and reminded me of him and his Greek heritage. The ocean and his flag.

And then I added the staircase that would welcome him home in his afterlife. The staircase also symbolized his success. Success to have made it to the ultimate destination.

 This painting was meant to provide peace of mind and warm your heart in just the right places. To give you hope that you can do anything and reach the top of whatever you are looking to accomplish.

Bouncing Balls in the City

The idea behind making this painting was about making life fun no matter what. That's our job, each and every one of us! That's the ultimate message behind it.

When you look at this painting, you have this abstract skyline and some balls out of nowhere completely out of place just having fun, bouncing around, like they don't care, even if they don't belong there.

So just have fun and live your life no matter what comes your way! Turn anything into a positive. Life is too short to worry.

The Colorful Peacock

When making this painting, I actually asked myself, why am I attracted to peacocks? Why a peacock? Is it because it has beautiful colors and looks magical? I remember fanning it out and thinking of the American Flag??!!, which is weird and that is the reason there is so much red, white and blue in it's feathers..

So after I made it I googled it to see what my subconscious has done.

It so happens that Florida has a growing population of peacocks and that I have always wanted to go there. This may be a sign that it's time to visit.

It also happens that the peacock holds great symbolism: It is a symbol of rebirth, beauty, masculine power, sisterhood protection, vision, renewal, good luck and so many more!!!

No wonder this painting brings out such a positive vibe. Sometimes even the artist needs to search to get some answers.

Butterfly Park

 This piece is also available in a fun Puzzle Format for the kids.

This painting was one of my first abstract acrylic paintings and one of my favorites.

The serene feel I get from looking at this one doesn't compare and is timeless.

When we were young, my cousins, my brother and I used to chase butterflies in the allies close to home and some were lucky enough to catch some.

It brings back such nice childhood memories at every gaze.

Tribal Lord

I had gone on vacation one year and was attracted to some nice tribal masks that hang on the wall and got inspired to create an abstract minimalist tribal Lord with very few colors. I wanted to keep him simple, as few colors were used to paint the original masks. I just decided to go completely untraditional and use colors that contradicted skin and face colors to make it my own and make him bold to prove my point.

What I realized was that tribes, history and our differences in general inspire and get us curious to learn more about others whether it be different people or nations.

This painting is meant to show that we see and learn from people that hold different values from us. We all have some kind of role to play in each other's lives.

Thinking in Blue

Thinking in Blue is a blurred out version of a dart board.

The bulls eye is the black dot in the middle. The different slots going round and round are hard to see to let us know that nothing is easy. Hard work is needed to make it where we need to go.

If you need a self check to get back down to earth, this one will give you the reminder you need and help you get your focus back.

The reason the main colors are in the blues, is because out of the many meanings blue signifies, you have the most important ones to make things happen for yourself: wisdom, intuition, confidence, stability, faith and intelligence.

Reading a Book

This painting has an older lady holding a red book wide open and shows the book pages turning quickly as she keeps walking forward.

This is the book of life.

It starts and will come to an end one day and it's a reminder to make the best of it.

It is red because red signifies passion, anger, love, courage, leadership, rage, willpower and so many more.

Life is an up and down kind of world full of learning.

This painting's message is life itself!

Long Eyelash Girl

If there is one makeup accessory every girl should have, it's mascara! And that is what this painting is trying to tell us ladies.

If there is one thing I love as a girly girl, it's mascara, mascara, mascara! I can't say it enough.

It makes me feel put together and when I was making Long Eyelash Girl, I felt more beautiful than ever because that's what mascara does to me. It makes me feel beautiful and happier than just happy.

She gets me in the right mood to dress up and be chic!

Mona Lima

Mona Lima is no Mona Lisa! She's better and dear to me.

Mona Lima is a depiction of one of my "bestest" friends. She is my Mona Lisa because she makes me smile, is always there when I need a true friend for advice or to talk some sense into me or give me a cup of sugar if I need it. She does it all.

Everyone's Mona Lima is different but what can be the same, is that this painting is the symbolism to the ultimate friendship.

The NeverEnding Maze

This painting has the most layers and textures built in than any other of my art pieces thus far. They are meant to depict complexity.

This piece shows this never ending maze that is full of scuffs and some dead ends along the way. 

This painting is the human brain and the thinking process.

The gray tunnel on the left is where you enter in thought and the signature is strategically placed on the way out, where the thought process ends and solutions are found.

The colors are meant to be bright and emanate positivity for anyone's road. The keep good thoughts going and give you hope that you will find your way no matter what!

Madame Chapeau

Madame Chapeau is another one of my entertainer female figures that I came up with. She is supposed to be a rare native girl with long, dark, curly hair and a hat full of feathers that symbolize her tribe.

I associate Indians to wise and noble people.

Her green feathers are supposed to symbolize nature, peace and her red are supposed to represent passion and love.

The orange in her hat symbolizes joy, warmth and enthusiasm and the blue is depth, expertise and stability.

 She shares the qualities of a true leader and is a meant to be a positive symbol to show us the way.

The Hidden Man

The Hidden man shows an abstract face of a man hidden in a green field. His skin is of a rosy pink color that symbolizes youth, good health and playfulness. He is flushed and shy as he is hiding and in love for the first time. He is hiding in a forest with many shades of green which symbolizes his powerful emotions, renewal and life. He is reborn in his passion for this special lady and feels at peace and secure in this new found love.

This image is about a man's pure, honest and genuine love towards his woman.

Ice and Heat... Polar Opposites!

This painting is a symbol of hope that love can melt any frozen heart.

The Yellow is showing the melting process and is showing the progress of this miracle as it symbolizes happiness, warmth and sunshine. Something good is on the horizon.

It still, however, has a long way to go as there is less green in the painting which symbolizes life and renewal, compared to the icy cold blue heart and the fiery red flame of love hard at work.

It is a depiction of the truth as something like this takes time.

Lost... the Mystery Girl

This one is one of my first lady characters and I wanted to make a link between a woman uncertain of herself and the hope that she will find herself one day.

Her stance, her shoulders and the fact that she is placed in front of a brick wall makes it look like maybe she hit a dead end. 

The painting then takes a positive twist and shows hope in the pop of colors that were chosen: The green and the orange.

Her bright poppy eyes and faint green contour show a possibility, beginning of renewal and re-birth while her orange top which takes a hold of our gaze symbolizes creativity, sunshine, a warm heart full of enthusiasm and her joy to come.

This art piece depicts the journey of every woman as we all get stuck sometimes and eventually find our way in our lives.

Mr. Strange

This man has a definite strange look to himself.

Picasso will always inspire artists like myself. He was a master and one of my favorites.

This painting for me is all about not judging a book by it's cover. That's the lesson to learn here and a common mistake we can all make at any given time.

As strange as he looks, the colors that surround him are all colors that are meant to bring out his good heart.

Pink, purple, orange, yellow and green are all positive colors that symbolize warmth, sunshine, joy, enthusiasm, playfulness, cheerfulness, happiness, nobility, power and ambition.

It is not about how he looks on the outside but of the way he can make us truly feel if we just look deep inside.

The Arian

This piece is also available in a fun Puzzle Format for the kids.

This piece shows a beautiful blond Arian that is signing to a crowd and is fascinating to her fans.

There are a couple of hidden messages in this one.

The main one is that there are many sides to us women. This painting focuses on two: the aesthetic side and our inner beauty.

The aesthetic side loves mascara, loves make-up and loves to find any way to accentuate our features to make us more attractive like the Arian. We even look at other women and compare amongst ourselves and can be in awe like the Arian's fans are with some women that we consider beautiful or with particular looks we want for ourselves. AS women we feed off each other.

There is also a bright inner beauty that shines through in each and every one of us and is shown in this piece through the golden blond Arian hair that catches our gaze.

All of us have the power to show our true selves; the women under it all.  Her yellow hair shows what we are truly about and capable of. Yellow is the symbol of warmth, sunshine, happiness and friendship. 

In the Bedroom

Sex Up your sex life!

This piece is also available in fun Puzzle Format to help spice up your love life.

When I was contemplating on making a piece like this, I asked myself  what I was really thinking?!! This type of art is not my style really. I told myself I would make one on a one time only basis for one reason alone, to express sexuality on equal grounds.

I thought about it this way:

In most movies, women are shown fully naked while men are not. So I decided to just reverse  the roles and make things fun a little by showing all the male parts and only some female parts.

Also, the two characters have no faces as their appearances should be of no importance to the audience. Their sexuality was meant to shine through.

Either way you look at it, the bedroom is a private place where fantasy can take over and take us to another place.

It is meant to be personal and private.

The curtains are there to really make an emphasis that we are peeping in a private moment when we shouldn't be.

That is why it feels like we are intruding.

Even when I completed this piece, I felt like I should not be watching... and turn away to give these two some privacy even to this day!!!
