Radiant Angels No. 23920

Description

Using vintage glass fire opals from Czechoslovakia I formed angels that appear to rise into the heavens. 7 beads make up each angel. I also added a bit of phosphorescent blue and green paint, so it has visible parts in the dark. Size 4 1/2 x 3 inches
One of a kind magnetic art. This is hand painted by me with the Golden Acrylics on archival 60mil magnetic vinyl. I mix different interference and metallic paints. Since 1996 I have signed and numbered over 29,000 pieces. I was drawn to the magnetic media, because no other artist was using it the way I was. I saw other artist sticking a magnet to their art, I thought why not stick my art to the magnet. 12 years later I have found a few other artist using the magnetic vinyl in their own way, but no other artist in the world has used it like me. Everybody's style is unique. I still haven't found another magnet artist as prolific as myself.
If you look up my last name, Gauss, in the dictionary, it actually means unit of magnetic energy. I'm a distant cousin of the mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss. He discovered the mathematical theory of magnetism. So in a way I'm following my destiny.
