Colorizing the Ancient East is a vivid reimagining of a traditional black-and-white Eastern print, transformed into a glowing, contemporary landscape.

Layered with acrylics and collage on papyrus, the work bursts with electric blues, greens, and golds that illuminate a river scene framed by mountains, bridges, and temples. By reviving a classic motif with modern color and mixed media, this piece becomes a meditation on memory, tradition, and the way old worlds are continually “re-colored” by new perspectives.
