The three miniature paintings titled "Earth, Wind, & Fire" represent the natural elements in an intimate and beguiling way. Despite their small size, the paintings convey the immense power and beauty of each element.
In "Earth," a mixed media treatment creates a textured and sculptural effect, which emphasizes the solidity and groundedness of the element. The miniature proportions of the painting invite a voyeur to peer into a microscopic world, where the earth itself is the dominant force.
In contrast, "Wind" is a fluid and ethereal painting, with delicate shapes and a lightness that captures the essence of the element. The tiny painting is an embroidered gentle breeze blowing through a miniature landscape, creating a sense of movement and energy.
Finally, "Fire" is a bold and striking painting that captures the intense power and heat of the element. The mixed media approach highlights a dynamic haptic effect, where flames leap off the paper. Here is the tiny but mighty inferno, with fire dominating the entire painting.
These three miniature paintings capture the numinous qualities of the elements in a way that is both intriguing and humorous. The mixed media approach, creates a sculptural quality that appeals to the eye and draws the viewer in from another perspective.
