To Pimp A Dragonfly

Nature has an incredible way of captivating our senses and serving as a boundless source of inspiration. As a multimedia artist, I find myself continually drawn to its beauty especially after reminding myself that God created this. On a casual afternoon phone call, I happened to glance down and witness an enchanting sight. A cool-colored wave caught my eye, accompanied by the presence of a vibrant dragonfly. In that fleeting moment, I couldn't help but whisper to myself, "Wow, God."


This instance served as a gentle reminder that nature, crafted by a higher power, is a wellspring of astonishing beauty that often goes unnoticed amidst the hustle and bustle of our lives. This encounter sparked an idea, one that may have been explored before, but not with my personal experience.


Join me as I delve into the concept of creating color palettes inspired by the wonders of nature, I will be doing it Frank Sinatra style “My Way” rather than relying on existing online resources or references, I will solely draw from the moments I experience in nature. This approach guarantees a genuine connection with the subject matter, ensuring that each color palette I create will bear the mark of my own real world happenings.



Reflecting upon this encounter, I was struck by the profound impact nature exerts on the realm of design. Countless fashion trends, color palettes, and combinations that we mock or admire trace their origins back to the natural world. Nature seems to be the ultimate trendsetter, providing us with a blueprint for creating visually captivating and harmonious artwork. It introduces us to a variety of colors and combinations, serving as an everlasting muse for artistic endeavors.


Nature's influence knows no bounds when it comes to igniting our creative spirits. From the delicate wings of a dragonfly to the breathtaking colors of a scenic landscape, nature possesses the power to awaken our imaginations. This reminds me of when I went snorkeling last summer in Honduras and I seen some translucent type fish that illuminated my thinking when it came to graphic design. By embarking on this artistic journey, centered around crafting color palettes inspired by my personal observations, I not only celebrate nature's profound beauty but also embrace the joy of creating art in my own unique way. Together, let us delve into the wonders of nature's palette and rediscover the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.
