Hi, I’m Dave. My newest painting, “Diurna-lN-octurnal”, is a 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas that dives into the contrast of reality — the way opposites create balance: day and night, heat and cold, clarity and mystery.

This work isn’t just visual; it’s emotional. The warm blaze of the sun and the cool pull of the moon share the same portrait, revealing the yin and yang we all carry. Conflict and harmony live side-by-side, and the piece invites you to feel both at once.

• Warm oranges and golds for energy, passion, and action.
• Deep blues and greens for reflection, stillness, and wonder.
• A seamless transition between hot and cold — a reminder that neither exists without the other.

“Diurna-lN-octurnal” is my message about duality, equilibrium, and the emotional spectrum we move through every day. If you collect symbolic, figurative, or surreal work, this painting was made with you in mind.
