Overview:
Part of my Eye/Iris Constellations series, Orion Iris Constellation is one of the final two original pieces remaining from this early collection. The series began in 2012, sparked by a fascinating connection I observed between solar coronas, the Helix Nebula (often called the Eye of God), and the intricate patterns within the human iris. I imagined what it might look like if each star constellation had its own iris—and so, the series was born. Each painting features hand painted acrylic paint over acrylic dipped recycled materials layered with rich textures, and the constellation it represents is centered where the pupil would be. This piece is a rare opportunity to own a part of that cosmic exploration.

About This Piece:
Orion Iris Constellation is inspired by the legendary warrior Orion—hunter, traveler, and celestial giant. In Greek mythology, Orion was gifted by Poseidon with the ability to walk across the sea, and I envisioned this iris as if it belonged to him: powerful, commanding, and steeped in oceanic mystery.

Midnight blues and deep indigos ripple across the painting like tidal waves, accented with metallic splashes and layered textures that mimic the feel of starlight on water. At the center, the Orion constellation glows—symbolizing protection, masculine strength, and timeless courage.

Feathers and ribbons are embedded into the surface, adding dimension and movement. These unconventional materials invite closer inspection, transforming the canvas into a tactile portal between myth and cosmos.

Artist's Note:
This piece reflects a personal fascination with the relationship between our human design and the vastness of the universe. Orion Iris Constellation is a meditation on strength, mythology, and the ever-present mystery of what connects us to the stars.
