Mountain God

Oil on canvas - 54x54

Inspired by the colossal sculpture commissioned by the Medici family by Giovanni de Bologna.

This piece holds special meaning to the artist as his studio is situated between two snow capped volcanoes. This piece is in extremely high relief, the painting was excuted almost entirely with a pallette knife. The bold application of paint adds to the imposing nature of this image.
