This vibrant diptych, Pele’s Pools, is an abstract tribute to the fiery beauty of lava pools at Haleakal?, erupting in all their primal glory on the Big Island of Hawaii. Swirling with intense reds, yellows, and blues, the paintings capture the dynamic energy and fluidity of molten lava, embodying the fierce yet life-giving power of Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of volcanoes. The circular patterns echo the bubbling lava pools, while the bold colors evoke the heat, movement, and mystique of Earth’s raw creation. This work celebrates the elemental force of nature in its most spectacular and transformative form.
