Primordial Soup is heavily inspired by the complex and beautiful wats the universe arranges itself for us visually.

A vibrant array of colors enhances the diversity and radiance of the world and its’ magnificent displays of being. The contrasting dark background represents the vast darkness of space, and alternatively the emptiness between larger objects often seen through a microscope. Jelly-like microbial forms serve to honor the smallest of our lifeforms and chemistry, and how they have evolved over time to create complicated, diverse ecosystems on all levels that form the world as we know it today.

A bright and textured green orchid shows the unique, specialized ways these relationships between matter and all aspects of the world combine to create such intricate curiosities.

The corners of the canvas are embellished with handcrafted clay beads made specifically for the painting.

The edges of the canvas are painted in a rainbow gradient, with colored gems added in a random fashion. Ribbon covers the edges.

The back is signed, titled, and dated with the artist’s real initials, business name, and their previous pseudonym.
