HARLEM BIOSPACE:
They wanted a painting that incorporated science and West Harlem
THE PROCESS
I create custom paintings using acrylic paint on canvas that are custom tailored for your space. Using the look of your space and information about the theme, colors, style, and details you would like added, I will combined all of these ingredients to create artwork that completes and compliments your unique space. Below is an example of the process.
I first inspect the space of where the mural or paintings will go. Then I draft some ideas I have for the design. For the Harlem Biospace, they wanted the artwork to incorporate science + Harlem. I came up with the idea of fusing a microscopic view of plant cells with an aerial map of Harlem. They also, wanted to see some iconic science buildings in West Harlem added.

Things to think about: Where will the painting be hung?
If you have a good idea where the painting will be hung, it will help in choosing:
-
Size canvas
-
Main colors, patterns, themes, logos
-
What message are you trying communicate?
-
How do you want your guests to feel when thet're in your space?
How Long will it Take
The time it takes to complete a painting depends on the complexity and size of the of the painting. I prefer to have a month to work on the painting, but I can have a painting completed in as little as a week.
