About the Item
The Butterfly series for Ash began as a sentiment to her late Father. Butterflies began to appear in unexplainable ways after his passing, the artist later discovered that Butterflies represent spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope, and life - she goes on to say: "The butterfly series draws inspiration from Rivera's quote 'Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can.'" After coming to the fruition that Butterflies pose as not only a symbol for beauty and rebirth, Almonte felt a feeling of deep comfort. Her passion for sharing this message of hope and renewal through her colorfully diverse canvases is achieved with resilience leaving her audience glimmering much like the inner voice and the spark of Joie de vivre that fuels her purpose in life to create. This piece is painted on thick gallery wrap canvas and is signed lower right and on verso, it comes with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 48 x 48 inches
Inspired by vibrance and an optimistic outlook on life, Ash Almonte is recognized for her distinct abstract expressionistic style. She is best known for her series of Chandeliers, Butterflies, and Fashion from the Seventh Avenue Design District. Almonte's award-winning works can be found in private and permanent collections around the world. She is motivated by change, compassion for others, and miraculous phenomena that can impact others for good.
Her flair and admiration for fashion and art have been a staple of her life since childhood. As a young girl, she would experiment using anything she could find to make art; from tearing apart bushel baskets at her father’s fruit stand, to tearing out old magazine clippings from her mother's magazine collection; anything and everything around her could potentially be used to create. She would continue to seek out opportunities throughout her young adult years, as her love for fashion grew, allowing her to collaborate with celebrity stylists creating looks for top billboard artists, as well as apparel worn at New York Fashion Week for designers Sherri Hill and Alice + Olivia. These experiences imbued her with an appreciation for couture, that would propel and influence her unique style today.
After graduating with a BFA in Fine Arts from McMurry University, Almonte continued to hone her craft, dedicating her life to art and nurturing her mission to bridge the healing power of creativity with others around the globe. Reaching out to help teens in foster care, and is passionate about her work with "Hopefully Sow", an organization dedicated to better serving teens in foster care, 10 percent of all her sales go to support this effort and mission. For Ash, her practice is more than creating, it's an opportunity to give back to further impact the world for good and allow her to share light, which is also a common theme in her work.
In 2011 Ash began the Chandelier Series, where she felt compelled to portray an inner mantra with her audience, that light is a fuel in which we all connect and how important it is for her to share this very sentiment. She goes on to explain: "We all have a light inside of us and that light is how we connect in some realm; whether it be a mentor, a friend, a stranger, a nurse. It is this innate human connection that brings us together and for me, a chandelier represents the complexity and beauty of this and so the idea of providing this light for one another is what motivates me in this collection." Using a technique of thick brushstrokes and bright, bold colors with resin and other varnishes, her canvases glimmer and shine, much like the inner voice that Ash communicates with her viewer, and the spark of Joie de vivre that fuels her purpose in life to create.
Almonte is constantly developing her aesthetic, today she further breaks the barriers of how she applies paint onto the canvas by carefully manipulating her dried acrylic pallet. She cuts and reapplies the leftover paint onto new works of art, creating a refreshing and unique design that gives her work a new dimension and a more 3D-like feel. Almonte continues to draw great inspiration from the theme of rapture and positivity generating palpable connections to the world through her art. She is passionate about using art for philanthropic endeavors and giving back to those in need. Her artworks have been exhibited and collected worldwide, including Austin Texas, Germany, Los Angeles, New York, and Hong Kong, and featured in publications like Paper City Magazine, TRIBEZA Austin and TX Lifestyle & Travel Magazine, as well as featured in major motion pictures as well as episodes of HGTV’s Bargain Mansions.
