Medium: Acrylic on panel (unframed)
Size: 23 1/8" x 14 5/8"
Quote from the artist: "I've spent countless nights staring at the stars that our ancestors used to find their way to the place we call home. I often wonder what they saw in the sky as they crossed into the unknown.
If you stand with the painting pointing south, the night sky constellations will appear as in the painting.
Note the octopus, shark, whale, jellyfish, and honu figures hidden in the clouds.
Bio: Born in Hawai’i, raised both on Lāna’i and in California, Travis Turqueza is a multimedia artist, part time teacher/farmer, and full time creator. Art has always been part of his life--he is inspired by artists like Herb Kane, Solomon Enos and Rocky Jensen, and Frank Frazetta--and a love and appreciation of Hawai’i, its culture and history.
"No matter what medium I work with paint, digital, photography, etc., I hope my art inspires connection to place, people, a feeling. I hope to inspire with my art the way art inspired me. I hope it encourages other people to find their own connection."
