Laurel Award at the Living & Breathing Animal Art Contest by Gallery 4%

Honored to receive the Laurel Award at Gallery 4%’s Living & Breathing Animal Art Contest (San Francisco, April 2025) for three works from The Era Clockmakers series—visionary portraits exploring myth, animal guardianship, and the symbolic power of time.

🕰 Celebrating a New Recognition

I am honored and excited to share a new milestone in my artistic journey: my artworks Chronomancer, Keeper of Eternal Wisdom, and The Terra Machinist from The Era Clockmakers collection have been awarded the Laurel Award at the Living & Breathing – Animal Art Contest, hosted by Gallery 4% in San Francisco, California (April 2025).

The Living & Breathing contest celebrates the profound relationship between art and the animal world, welcoming imaginative interpretations of the creatures that inspire us. My three featured works offer a visionary exploration of elemental forces—air, water, and earth—through surreal, steampunk-inspired animal guardians. Α part of a series that honors those who bravely mend fractured moments, ensuring every second moves toward a better tomorrow.

🔧 Purpose of The Era Clockmakers Collection

This series pays tribute to solitary visionaries—those whose journeys may unfold in quiet resilience, yet serve a greater collective purpose. These figures, part myth and part machine, represent those who bravely mend fractured moments in time, ensuring each second progresses toward a more conscious, harmonious future.

The Era Clockmakers is more than a collection—it’s a metaphorical journey. It’s a visual call to action, asking us to recognize time not as something fleeting, but as a mosaic of meaningful moments we can define, preserve, and elevate.

Through symbolic guardians and mechanical elegance, the series invites viewers to reflect, transform, and reclaim the narrative of time in their own lives.

🏆 About the Award

Receiving the Laurel Award is especially meaningful, as it ensures these three works will remain in permanent virtual display on the Gallery 4% platform. It’s a lasting testament to the narrative depth and artistic intention of this collection.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to the curators and judges at Gallery 4% for this recognition and for providing a supportive platform that uplifts international contemporary voices.

This theme set the stage for a display of diverse artistic interpretations and the use of color as a powerful means of expression.

My Artistic Response

In response to this colorful challenge, I submitted "Azure Renewal" and "Promises," each embracing and embodying the theme through their distinct palettes and thematic depth. "Azure Renewal" captures the serene and vibrant blues, yellows and golds, symbolizing the fresh and awakening qualities of spring. Conversely, "Promises" uses a lively mix of reds, cherry, dusty pink and gold, portraying the energy and renewal that the spring season brings. These artworks not only adhered to the competition's criteria but also aimed to evoke emotional responses through the strategic use of colors.

The focus on color was not just a guideline but a canvas for creativity, allowing each artist to convey stories and sentiments through chromatic richness. This approach brought out some of the most imaginative and visually captivating pieces in the exhibition, making it a truly spectacular showcase of how colors can define and elevate art.

🌟 I am beyond thrilled and deeply honored to receive the Gold Award at Camelback Gallery's Autumn Festival of Art 2024! 🎉🍂

This recognition means so much to me, and I’m incredibly grateful to have my piece "Copper Reverie in the Fall" showcased among the work of so many talented artists from across the globe. A huge thank you to Camelback Gallery for this incredible opportunity, and to the jurors—Filipe Assunção, Holly Cannon, and Kathy Paulus—for their expertise and thoughtful selection process.

This exhibition represents 80 artists from 13 countries, each bringing their unique perspective and creativity to the event. The selection process for the exhibition was based on the theme, the quality of work, and technical skill, making this award even more meaningful. It motivates me to continue creating, exploring new ways to express myself, and sharing my passion for art with the world.

I am truly inspired and looking forward to what lies ahead on this artistic journey. Thank you for all the love and support! 💖
