Hummingbirds
ArtistSandra Yagihas always loved science, developing a unique interest in anatomy and the human skeleton.
For Yagi, a human skeleton is a powerful symbol due to its association with mortality.
Drawing from this, Yagi has turned this concept on its head by adding a seemingly simple feature.
“Hummingbirds”
It’s intended to symbolize the continuing cycle of life.
That is, there is no everyone lived happily ever after.'
Ideas just emerge when I least expect it, and I’ll often jot it down, Yagi shares.
“Leaf Rowboat”
This helps with shading, and ensures the skeleton is true to the real thing, Yaggi adds.
I project the image to a panel, and then the oil painting begins.
Yagi’s contemplative compositions go hand in hand with the nature of her chosen medium.
“Fireflies”
With watercolor and gouache, I often feel rushed because of how fast the media dries.
Oil painting is ideal for more detailed compositions with numerous elements.
Yagi concludes, Our time here is limited, so one should make the most of it.
