“Hibiscus Eyes – From Darkness We Come To Earth We Return” is a captivating painting that explores the cycle of life and our connection to the Earth. The artwork showcases the face of a man transitioning from youth to old age, symbolizing the passage of time and the inevitability of our journey through life.
The painting uses acrylic on canvas, measuring 24″ x 36″. Pamela Fay Today has skillfully depicted the man’s face with surrealistic details, capturing the emotions and experiences etched into his features. The use of darkness cascading over his transitioning face represents the challenges and struggles we face in life.
As the darkness envelops the man’s face, it transforms into wind, water, and sand, symbolizing the elements of nature. This transformation signifies the return of the man’s essence to the Earth, completing the cycle once again.
In her distinct artistic style, “Hibiscus Eyes” fully embraces the canvas, embodying Pamela Fay Todays’ edgy approach to painting. The subject of the portrait is portrayed with hibiscus flowers as eyes, a recurring motif in all of Todays’ portraits. Interestingly, in this particular piece, the hibiscus eyes exhibit signs of aging and decay, mirroring the man’s own transformation and serving as a symbolic representation of the profound link between life and the earth, as he returns to the very elements from which he came.
Pamela Fay Today dedicated 20 hours to create this captivating piece, investing her time and talent to bring this concept to life. It will be showcased at Gallery Elan for the entire month of October 2023 as part of the Blue Art Exhibition hosted by the Florida Women’s Art Association.
“Hibiscus Eyes – From Darkness We Come To Earth We Return” invites viewers to reflect on the transient nature of life, our connection to the world around us, and the inevitable return to the Earth from which we came.
