Live Free painting by Tamassia Martins
Spray paint, money, and mod podge (18 x 20 inches)
I started with a blank canvas, $4,800, and a bottle of mod podge, and two days later, I had the perfect backdrop. The man flying the kite signifies freedom and passion. On top of the $4,800, the spray-painted money sign speaks of the painting’s rebellious nature. The oriental writing says, “Live Free.” My point was that sometimes we get so lost chasing money that we make our dreams a second priority.
