Verdean evergarden
Gallery I will showcase Evergarden’s artistic concept that he finally understands. The quote “No painting is ever really finished, only ever abandoned” by Leonardo Da Vinci recently clicked with him. As Evergarden explains, “When I first heard this, I couldn’t help but feel sadness, but now I realize that I just wasn’t old enough to understand. It means to create something so methodical, intentional and beautiful that even when given all the time in the world to grow and cultivate, it still has potential to become more beautiful and masterful.” He transitions this lesson into his exhibit Un-Finished which displays his fierce and unique paintings.
