Dimensions (HxWxD):

127 × 127 × 4 cm

Materials:

Acrylics, oil pastels, and soft pastels on hand-stretched waxed canvas. The material looks like felt to the touch, but it's actually the inner soft lining of a water-resistant cloth. I start painting on the floor, with very diluted acrylics as the waxed canvas retains marvelously the running pigments. After it dries, I hang the canvas on the wall and add layers of thicker acrylics, oil, and soft pastels.

In Petting the Dragon, I used an intense and warm color palette, to suggest the sensation of an inner flame initiating a primal desire, an attempt at creating something new, a life change, an adventure, a new path that attracts us, but whose steps often are postponed for fear of failing. Petting the Dragon is a triptych, depicting this decisive momentum in life that comes into 3 acts: an inner call to act, a climax, and a resolution. To all the risk-takers, who jump and fall. To collectors of failures and mockery fools. To put your heart on the line, one more time. To stand up, no matter what, and quietly bruise. Still petting the Dragon, knowing it might burn you.
