Painterly Soul
This collection is dedicated to the memory of my late dad, Daniel Laiz Gordón. Painting these florals has been therapeutic for me while recovering from the trauma of his sudden death. I tried to reflect colorful, beautiful abstract flowers using oil paint, crayons, or watercolor pencils, in a way that was instinctive to me, that felt natural and that encouraged me to create beauty that could brighten other people's day.
Louise May Alcott is quoted to have said "I've had a lot of troubles, so I write jolly tales"; I'd like to make the spirit of this saying my own: "Sometimes life gets gloomy, so I paint colorful jolly flowers".
