Revenant

Description

This painting depicts a warrior and his horse in vibrant oil paints in various shades of brown, terracotta, clay, and burgundy, using impasto techniques to create a highly textured background. I painted the warrior looking up in a fierce war cry, evoking the strength and courage of the Comanche culture. The background is an abstract depiction of Peek-a-boo Slot Canyon, or Red Canyon, in Utah. The use of the term “revenant” as the painting’s name adds a layer of depth and meaning, suggesting a connection to his ancestors.
