Zantedeschia takes its name from the calla lily, a flower long associated with purity, faith, and renewal. I was drawn to its symbolism and structure. The blooms are sculpted with heavy texture so they physically rise from the surface, giving them weight and presence rather than a flat illusion. The restrained palette and high contrast keep the focus on form and movement. Splatter and line create tension around the flowers, but the blooms remain steady within it. The piece centers on clarity and renewal expressed through texture, contrast, and space.
Medium: Acrylic, gesso, and heavy body texture on canvas. Dimensions: (Diptych) Each panel 12 × 36 in (30.48 × 91.44 cm)
