Watercolor on paper collage

This is a watercolor collage, made after I moved to Los Angeles. I shifted my paintings to watercolor during the pandemic, due to their ability to remain tidy in shared spaces in which traditional oil painting may be hazardous. The medium lent itself to collage-like works in which I tried to challenge the limitations of traditional paintings in a way that accurately depicted the immersive nature of the outdoors. It explores the beauty of a city that is located next to the sea, and how nature interacts with people and the harsher elements of the city. The piece also conveys the energy of walking through the beach and city at night and how it can be both lonely and peaceful at the same time.
