Beetle Juice

Acrylic, Ink and Beetlejuice on canvas 

Dressed in a beautiful, rescued timber frame   

120cm x 90cm 

Part of my recent Manifest Collection 

Initially named "Overcome," this artwork encountered an unexpected twist in its creation. A beetle, drawn to the wet paint, inadvertently became part of the process, leaving its own unique trail amidst the evolving colours and textures.  

This unexpected collaboration added a layer of complexity and beauty to the piece. In honor of the beetle's unwitting contribution, the artwork took on a new aligned significance, symbolising the transformative power of embracing unforeseen circumstances. Overcome limiting beliefs and embrace change. Rest peacefully, little beetle; your fleeting presence has left an enduring mark on this creation.
