I would like to hang a 36x36 metal version of this in my serenity garden. Will it withstand being displayed outside in the elements? It is so beautiful! Would you suggest a protective coating on it to preserve it?
Peter Awax replied:
Wendy, this is the information regarding the metal prints: Metal prints are extremely durable. They're lightweight. They won't bend, and they're water resistant. The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The wooden frame includes a hanging wire for easy mounting on your wall. One thing I'm not sure if the colors wont fade by time. You can contact Fine Art America customer department to get more details about metal prints displayed in outdoor or garden conditions.

I'm not sure the moment my artistic path was determined, but it was at least at the time of my 8th birthday while I witnessed my only sibling meet his death to cancer, and began to lay awake each night, my stomach churning with the incomprehensible questions of what eternity he might have passed onto, questions I could not put into words to communicate to my parents why it was difficult to for me fall asleep. But I do recall the Easter weekend of my 19th year when I first saw, with eyes closed, the vivid images you depict here, riding to my consciousness, my consciousness suspended by the communication they delivered to me in their celestial dance. I was emersed in their colorful and musical symbols and words for about the following ten years, and they led me through perhaps dangerous undertakings while I acted courageous in the feeling of their protection, gathering lessons for what I felt was my artistic mission. Then in a second, as I approached my 30th year, they told me the time of protection was over, that I was on my own and should follow a safer path, and I did, and they left me. I spent a bit over another ten years processing that experience while I practiced a more grounded path on life's terms, and released the lessons of those trials with more careful art. And without their direct contact, I relearned how to suspend my thoughts and turn to silence to listen to more complete wisdom then my linear inner dialogue of English syllables could ever have time for. Then the impact of my brother's death reoccurred when my only child at age 16 died. I don't know what happened to my art after that. Perhaps it was more fused with anger, and the honesty of anger, and sometimes silent peace. I look at your symbols now and recall, perhaps not accurately, but I recall. Thank you for your images.

I'm very touched to hear your story Mike. For me the art or design is a gateway to inner sanctum and realization about life and feeling and how we interact between reality and virtuality which bring peace and balance to the mind and soul. Thank you for sharing your story and comment about my art.
