French Yogi, in a Japanese Garden with Portuguese Azulejos

More about French Yogi, in a Japanese Garden with Portuguese Azulejos

The title evokes a cultural and stylistic fusion while playfully referencing the central frog in a meditative pose.

A surreal frog in a meditative pose rests on intricate Portuguese azulejos, surrounded by Japanese-inspired trees and foliage. The scene merges French whimsy, Ukrainian folk art patterns, and Mondrian-like geometric structures, offering a vibrant tapestry of artistic traditions.

Artistic Statement: This piece celebrates cross-cultural artistic dialogues. It combines the whimsical naturalism of Rousseau, the intricate storytelling of Victorian fairy painter Richard Dadd, the geometric precision of Mondrian and Escher, and the organic elegance of Modern Ukiyo-e, all while grounding itself in the bold simplicity of Portuguese azulejos.

Influencing Artists: Henri Rousseau, Richard Dadd, MC Escher, Piet Mondrian, Frances MacDonald
