The photo this piece was inspired by was taken during a dramatic neon sunset at a beach in Bali, Indonesia where I used to live. It is one of my most favorite sunset photos. This piece took two days and is painted on a thicker canvas. My knuckles were so torn up by the time I finished the painting that I couldn’t start a new one for nearly a month because they took so long to heal. The pain was well worth it to express the magic and beauty of that moment through my punches, kicks, and knees.
