This is the final project I did to finish this semester of my art class.
We were required to draw a piece in the style of a country in Southern or Eastern Asia, and I chose India (as it utilizes a lot of swirls and patterns that I’m good at recreating).
It depicts a man and an elephant with shiny eyes made of Aragonite (just because it looks cool). I had a lot of fun making this and wanted to share.

SOLAR MUSIC, 1955 by REMEDIOS VARO
In the rich earth tones, a figure encased in a cloak made of intertwined forest leaves pulls a musician’s bow across a beam of light that cuts through the painting. Where the heavenly ray penetrates the earth, the plants spring upwards and become green.
As the bow sweeps across the sun fingerboard, the white arcs sweep in concentric rings to reach the top of the tress’ branches. In this ‘playing’, caged birds are released from their cage as they emerge in a blaze of color.
In addition to her birds, VARO is experiencing a new form of rejuvenation. No longer driven by a need to earn a living, VARO’s new-found freedom allows her to explore her ideas in a new way. The fact that she now has “unlimited time” allows her to explore more layered painting techniques and intricate compositions, and harmony within her soul and mind.
Like the artist herself, the solitary figure works in harmony with her environment; delicately combining light and sound to create an experience of enlightenment and growth.
