Anabella Orellana

This is the final product. The vanishing point is still visible on the wall. But above it, I captured the two Ecuadorian paintings that are legitimately in my kitchen. Originally, the cross was made of bamboo and balanced on a vent. I was inspired by a wood shop I had walked by a few days ago that also sold wooden crosses. I wanted to draw the cross but instead I colored it brown and detailed it to give it texture of wood. I really didn’t like the vent, so I subconsciously told myself that roses would be appropriate. I enjoy the form it creates. The refrigerator in my kitchen was originally white and above it stood a black container. I changed this container to a vase at the start and I attempted some decorative pattern to make it appear porcelain. And I made the choice of turning my refrigerator pink because it looked dull in real life. This experimentation of colors also inspired me to make the brown drawers a teal color and the metal bookshelf red. The microwave remained white to balance this craze of color out. I have no living room. Instead, I went for a surrealism landscape vibe and created this in the space where the living room would be viewable. And on the wall, there was originally a flat painting hung. I chose to make it somewhat of a window that connected the landscape between scenes. I decided to create this rhythm and repetition of lamp posts that extended neon lights across the picture plane. Behind it is a beautiful sunset and below is the display of a road with some grass. I felt inspired to capture this because it made me feel peaceful. I call this piece, Surviving vs Living.
