ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“Aasha. The Spiral of Life and Death” Aasha - meaning of Hope and Life. She is an extraordinary, multifaceted piece. A very long, educational and exciting work to create. She evolved amazingly with only a few teardrops and foot stomping sessions! along the way! The first in my "SHRED THE BOX" Series. Two more challenging and rewarding pieces will be available soon! This painting symbolizes Life and Death. The Circle of Life. And all the spirals in between. I picture Aasha as floating and dancing in the ocean, all at once. She appears to be underwater in between stages of transformation. She is not quite sure if she is alive or not. Or if someone hurt her. And is that egg shells floating next to her…Could she be holding life in her belly? As her life ripples away? Or maybe you imagine something different. Let your imagination soar! There is alot of symbolism in this work and the life and death concepts roam through my mind. And the possibilities. I wanted and am still working on incorporating resin pours with other mediums and techniques to have my work fresh, unique with depth. Aasha was created with many mediums, starting with an unfinished painting using pastel. After 5 coats of epoxy resin, she truly looks as though she is drifting under crystal clear water or perhaps ice, with a surface, smooth as glass. I also incorporated quartz crystals, eggshell, stones, suede, vintage medallions from my Mom’s 60’s belt, coral, copper and more! Melissa Libutti ASYLUMARTWORX

Beginning as a makeup artist, I soon began to paint canvases. Africa and her indigenous people, the music, dance and art inspired my work throughout the years which gives my art a grounding element, touching humanity. Large sculptured masks on canvas emerged which later evolved into my bold series, RISE. Today I create multi layered canvases with tiers and wire constructs adding more layers and blends of paint combined with matte, lumenescence and resin. Obscure faces, figures and scenes reminicent of ancient times that morph and alter with lighting and shifts of ones gaze appear. Ontological inqueries of existence inspire my work, with a passion for the study of space time and the possibilitiy of the existence of other dimensions and cosmic time travel. Questions of life and death linger. Research and education into the latest scientific theories by physicists, scientists and astronomers plus discoveries by the Hadron Collider and The James Webb Telescope combined with my own insights, has prompted an urgent desire to translate these abstract concepts into visual narratives. I implore the viewer to contemplate and spark their curiousity while I provide a visual pathway to the worlds of the intricate unknown using interference, textures, plexiglass, wire and mirror to give sustenance and form to these abstruse theories that merge science, philosophy and art. “SHRED the BOX” - Melissa Libutti
