Artwork Description:

Have you ever seen a lighthouse in action helping someone stranded in the sea at night I notice that we don t think or speak about them much in society. They play a big role in helping us receive the resources we need from overseas I painted this lighthouse piece as I wanted to shed light on how important lighthouses are and how much more we need to appreciate what they do for us. As you can see, someone is dancing making a commotion to get help on a rocky outcrop far out a sea, somehow they have been lucky enough to have a lighthouse spot them and are now in the lighthouse beams In this artwork I wanted to explore 2 ideas: 1 I love lighthouse and I think they are amazing. I think that they are something that in society is not looked at enough or recognized for how much it does for us, cause if not for them, ship wouldn t be able to see at night and we wouldn t be able to get the things we need and want that come via ships. The other thing I wanted to explore was shadows I love shadows Shadows are amazing, from one angle it s completely dark and on the other side is an outline of the object thanks to light that now illuminates it This is what I try to show on this painting, the beauty of light at night when it hits an object and illuminates just the outline of it. This painting arrives ready to hang. To see what my hanging hardware looks like please see the photo from inside from studio on my main profile page.
