My spin on the Green Lion alchemical symbol, which consumes the essence of life by devouring the sun, the source of all green plant life, so becoming green. Psychologically, it parallels with the hero that assimilates their own ferocity. An ego death & transformation tale. #jovischnell #LApainting

Room to bloom 🔮🌸 this bouquet was shaped by the letters (and the shape between the letters) of the word Strength. Right image: Tracing around the letters like an S-curve drafting tool. I was so fascinated by those as a kid.🏁

Bouquet Play🌱🎾 Image: Heart Center ❤️🌼 This mixed collage painting series plays with the shapes of cut-out text to give form to the bouquet. Think: Tactile language models meet the art of floral arrangement. Hands at work press play.🕯
