I recently relocated to Florida, and I am constantly inspired by coastal living. While visiting St. Augustine, I was captivated by The Bridge of Lions and its history. I was drawn to the harmony between the richness of its architecture and the serenity of the intracoastal waterway. Therefore, I created a representation of this historical icon using the Pointillism style. Adding a unique twist to the technique, I replaced the paint brush with map pins while using a limited color palette. My palette consisted of only primary colors: red, yellow and blue, along with white, which are hand placed into definitive patterns on a black background to create both the illusion of additional colors and a three-dimensional appearance. I believe my artwork creatively depicts this important landmark of St. Augustine and was the right choice for this exhibition.
