Galatic Skies Greet Joshua Tree Emily Suñez Oil on Canvas

20" x 20" $1000

“Galactic Skies Greet Joshua Tree” depicts the Milky Way visible over Joshua Tree National Park on a dark summer night. This painting explores a sense of spiritual connection to the landscape and celestial bodies visible in the night sky. While my process begins with taking photographs in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts, I work largely from memory of these locations in my most recent work. My paintings are an idealized, romanticized version of the natural world, portraying the desert landscape as pure and sacred, worthy of reverence and protection. I strive for my paintings to be a reminder to the viewer of Earth’s beauty and sanctity.
