The chitenge bottle caps are often grouped together to make drink coasters and large pot holders and are a beautiful and creative way to up-cycle otherwise discarded caps.
As with most of my drawings and paintings, the black outlines of the lizard and bottle caps act as little containers to hold vibrant colors. They are inspired by my fascination with stained glass windows, comic books, and graphic novels. Having lived in Asia and Africa since 2016, I'm also always drawn to the wildest, most unrestrained patterns and colors and enjoy seeing what happens when these elements are placed next to each other.
The key word for a lizard as an animal symbol is survivor.
Animaltotem.com writes, "As a Spirit Animal, Lizard represents fast recovery, and adaptability. You live your life in a higher vibration than most. While others are focused on the physical plane, and holding on things they have, you tend to go with the flow, and detach yourself from situations that do not serve you anymore. These qualities help you attract more meaningful connections, and energies in your life."
All my original paintings and drawings will be signed before shipping. I'll also make and send via email a personalized video message to you of myself signing the work and a description of the shipping process as I ensure it gets safely from my part of the world to yours (with love).
