Below is a breakdown of the general kinds of work I’m the most excited to be doing right now, in no particular order.
I love private commissions that can both challenge me with some specific, unusual motifs, but also leave me a lot of freedom to make the work on my own terms.
Email me at hello@gabrielschama.com to inquire about your own private commission.
Organic
Organic: freehand drawings, bird, lizards, eldritch motifs, biology, organic abstraction
Portraits
Figures and portraits: mythology, jungian archetype, psychedelia, narrative, sexuality, energy body, tattoo,
Cathedrals
Cathedrals: intersections of architecture and abstraction, space scale and depth, ornament, stained glass, light and shadow
Rituals
Rituals: Mandalas designed to be taken apart, rituals built into the art for grief, loss and spirituality, geometric abstraction
I have worked on symmetrical abstractions for as long as I’ve been doing laser cut work, but only recently did the spiritual function of this work become clear to me. These mandalas are designed to have inner leaves that can be removed over time, to be given away, burned, buried or lost, in a self-styled ritual of grief and celebration.
