Grave (2025)

Updated: June 23, 2026

GRAVE was produced in December 2024 and January 2025. I used Golden’s matte paint exclusively.

I was listening to a lot of Grunge music at the time. Here’s a playlist I made to go along with the piece. Grave showed at the 2025 San Diego County Fair Fine Art Show.

You might have spotted the Fibonacci sequence design inside the center squares. It’s so fascinating and been on my mind to integrate into an artwork. I think it works well with the theme and mood of the piece.

Thanks for checking out GRAVE. More fun content on my Instagram channel.
