This is a portrait of the daily struggle of our lives. To move forward, backwards or not at all and that is what the world is all about. The small checkerboard tells us it is now our move and what we d will do? This measures 36" x 24". Mr. Portanova is an abstract artist from Cary NC. He writes, "I have learned that in art, as in life, anything is possible. Art has allowed me to find a way to hold up a mirror to the viewer and have them find themselves in my art. Expressing myself in abstract and abstracted art has made me paint with my heart and not my mind and that is a wonderful thing." Mt. Portanova is widely exhibited and graciously donated this painting for auction. You can follow him on Instagram @nickportanova.
