For centuries the grandeur of Venice thrives by the ceremonial customs that casts a spell on itself. The decorative veiling of Venetian buildings is a sacred ritual that has symbolic weight. It does this by maintaining relationships of symbol upon symbol. Remove away all the symbols, 'and what are you left with?'.

This statement print honorably upholds the joyful Venetian practice of grandeur. See the building in Piazza San Marco; it is adorned with an Indian Sari. The Indian custom of adoration called, ‘Shringar,’ is the adornment of oneself. Shringar is repurposed in a pageantry that is India consecrating Venice. "Hey presto! It’s now an even more marvelous building that feels and looks like a temple of a goddess". Notice how Shringar takes hold of the female walking toward us in the foreground.

Gouache is used to highlight the most minuscule of details.

Inside the mind of

Design By Authority

As a conceptual digital artist I was inspired to create the brand Design by Authority to showcase mixed media artworks... I imagine my interpretation without being hindered by the historical reality. I use references and ideas that are so integrated into the process of the composition of the work that they may escape those who do not take the time to explore how and why these images resonate with the viewer, like a good film, long after you’ve seen them.
