Ode to Dali

60 x 72” acrylic on stretched canvas

I have always loved the great surrealism artists - Dali, O’Keefe, and Frida in particular. In Ode to Dali, I explore concepts and imagery found in Dali’s and O’Keefe’s works. The giant rose is similar to Dali’s Meditative Rose, but instead suspended over a hand. The rose symbolizing one’s self and the hand representing self-discovery, love, and acceptance.
