Curious Infusion


Size: 7 " x 7" x 1"
Medium: Acrylic
Surface: Canvas
Style: Abstract
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle


This painting is a brightly colored abstract floral explosion! The style is aesthetically inspired by my keen interest in the folk arts of Mexico and India, particularly in the intensity of their color palettes and their detailed patterns. This painting combines my love for tribal art with a contemporary urban aesthetic, resulting in a fresh, vibrant abstract style that expresses the complexity and multiplicity of modern life through a youthful and jubilant perspective. The color scheme of this painting was inspired by the intricate embroidery created by the tribal Kutch people in India. This painting may be hung with any side facing up! The 1" thick edges of this painting are painted with flowers to match the front, so this painting ready to hang directly onto the wall without a frame!

My abstract paintings are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. My abstract art is heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal.



This painting is SOLD.
