Tropical Sun with Hands
Gouache on paper · approx. 21 × 29 cm · 2023–2025
See it on a wall
A half-circle sun with two crow-silhouette eyes, two goldenrod hands rising from a pink river, monstera and palm clustered around — all read as paper cut-outs.
Why this work
Directly in the lineage of late Matisse and his gouaches découpées — "drawing with scissors" — where joy is reduced to flat planes of hand-painted colour. Bold, graphic and unmistakably contemporary.
