Los Angeles - 24.8" x 24.8" x .5" Acrylic on Wood - 2025

Los Angeles is a mandala born from the vibrant, untamed energy of a city that pulses with creativity, contradiction, and color. Inspired by LA’s layered identity—its golden sunsets, neon nights, street art mosaics, and ever-present sense of possibility—this piece radiates with dynamic movement and bold expression. At the core, bright pinks and electric blues collide and swirl, evoking a skyline ignited by twilight and the electric hum of ambition. Shades of fuchsia, cobalt, and violet flash like city lights reflected in polished glass, while soft bursts of orange and gold echo the final glow of sun slipping behind palm-lined boulevards. These colors aren’t still—they shimmer, shift, and compete for attention, just like the city they represent. The mandala’s form is intricate but edgy—bold petals, rhythmic dots, and layered symmetry that hint at graffiti lines, digital patterns, and mural-covered walls. It feels alive, in motion, almost vibrating with the pulse of traffic, music, and imagination. The composition fuses glamor and grit, pop and soul, all orbiting around a center that glows with quiet confidence.
