Primavera Reimagined (Boticelli inspired)

Acrylic on wood

20″ x 10.5″

2023

The idea for this came in Spring 2020. Inspired, of course, by Botticelli’s Primavera, this piece is meant to serve as an x-ray of the figure’s unique bone structure. The skeletal imagery helps to create a grim feel to the colorful liveliness surrounding it, turning a painting named after Spring into a more ominous time.
