Goddess Nut & Anubis Unite

This is the very first painting I made in my new and colorful folk art style. What started out as digital designs during the lock-down in 2020, became an analog acrylic painting in 2021. It illustrates the connection between the outer world and the inner world in the ancient Kemetic spiritual traditions from Egypt. As above, so bellow. Goddess Nut represents the universe and milky way, and Anubis is the guardian of the underworld. Here they are united in a colorful geometric modern painting with sacred hieroglyphs that create an electrical charge the way a motherboard in a computer works.

In recent years, I created a series of artworks based on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic-alchemy. The works are a personal journey driven by a deep lifelong connection to Egypt and Eastern Africa, where a recent DNA test confirmed my lineage and ancestral memory. The artworks employ the African American science of "conjure”, to manifest esoteric symbolism of the hieroglyphs. I summon metaphysical archetypes in my works as I decode ancient hieroglyphs, reconstructing them into simplistic or abstract 2-dimensional acrylic paintings, murals, and digital art. I intend to connect people to divine knowledge and inspire a higher spiritual awareness. Born in San Francisco, I received my BFA in The Netherlands at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and my MFA in digital arts in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University. I have a multi-career as a painter, new media artist (digital art/NFT), and a visual effects compositor on feature films and TV. Both painting and digital art have been my two intertwining lifelong passions.
