Oasis

The trompe l'oeil Oasis conjures an adventure remembered from the stillness of the other side. A zebra rests at the center of the canvas while two small birds make themselves at home on its back; one just landing, one already settled. A third traces a lazy arc overhead. The background hums with a bold geometric pattern, an homage to African textile tradition that transforms the scene into something between savanna and sanctuary. The painting holds two things at once: the thrill of the untamed and the deep exhale of arriving somewhere safe.
