Chai Painting

Huddled underneath the layers of Chai paint lies the original work titled "Cayo Hueso". The artist's memory takes her back to a bustling street in Havana, alive with color and energy. Kiosks overflowed with vibrant fruits and fresh vegetables, while women sold materials and toys from behind their lively stalls. Beyond the busy streets, massive plantain trees lined the brightly-colored apartments and homes. Each building was painted in a vivid array of turquoise, pink, yellow, orange, purple, and every shade in between. And amidst all this vibrant chaos were the native people, dancing and singing with joy. The artist wanted to capture these memories in her painting of Cayo Hueso (see last picture). But when she finished it, she hated it. It lacked the essence of what she wanted to convey. So back to the easel she went. She decided to take a negative approach by using contrasting colors and textures to create depth and interest. It was a tedious process, but the end result was worth it. As always, there is a layer of collage underneath the thick layers of paint, adding texture to the piece. To bring out the colors even more, the artist applied a resin coating for a glossy finish. This unique piece is painted on a Pine wood panel and comes un-framed for the viewer to fully appreciate its intricate details.
