Peace is a Volcano emerged from a transformative moment watching Volcán de Fuego erupt in Guatemala, where I discovered profound calm while witnessing nature's raw power unfolding just kilometers away. Through layers of texture and eruptions of color, this painting maps the emotional landscape where my personal worries became microscopic against the backdrop of something so magnificently inevitable. The work explores the paradox that true peace often comes not from controlling our circumstances, but from surrendering to forces larger than ourselves. I invite viewers to find their own moment of tranquility within this visual meditation on how power and serenity can surprisingly coexist.
