Every other morning, on my way to art history class, I would pass by this space, mesmerized by the way the light touched the foliage and the quiet presence of the Virgin Mary statue. It was a place of stillness, a moment of reflection before stepping into the busy life of being a student.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI wanted to amplify what I saw to push beyond reality and infuse the scene with an altered, almost psychedelic energy. The result is a heightened version of what I remember: vibrant, pulsating with color, and illuminated beyond what nature alone could offer.

Growing up in the 90’s, at the height of motor sports on tv. I had a Porsche poster on my wall, fueling my dream of owning and driving one. Ive never been the type to handle cars too carefully. I believe they're meant to be driven hard, pushed to the limit, and fully enjoyed. This painting captures the thrill of that mentality. The fantasy of soaring over desert dunes, a helicopter in pursuit, and the raw adrenaline of the race.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CALMA fine art studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42140695887939,"sku":null,"price":10000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5366\/1251\/files\/FullSizeRender_8d6cc3ce-bbd4-4906-8410-fcd11898b689.jpg?v=1741145277"},{"product_id":"mob-vehicle-dumped-in-a-field","title":"Mob vehicle dumped in a field","description":"\u003cp\u003e36 x 48 acrylic painting on canvas, not on stretcher\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eif you would like a stretcher that can be provided please email me at: EMAILCARLOSLOPEZHERE@GMAIL.COM \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Mob vehicle dumped in a field” \u003cbr\u003e(Thank you, Ray, for the name 😉)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I saw this gorgeous Mercedes at a tuner shop in Dania a few months ago, and its beauty struck me.
