How does Crossroads (mural) elucidate its Description?
Each framed work measures 158 x 49.5 inches. Inspired by sitting on a porch or gazing out a window, letting the mind wander across the landscape, Nieves created a bright composition of Indiana native flowers and plants by incorporating emblematic images from the Eskenazi Health Art Collection together with Native American and Indiana state symbols incorporated with graffiti shapes, as Ismael Muhammad Nieves comments below:Indiana’s landscape is beautiful year-round. The landscape has been enjoyed through contemporary eyes as well as the Native Americans who call this land home. Throughout the mural are woodland scenes directly inspired from the Eskenazi Health Art Collection.  The animals, trees, and foliage in the murals are native to Indiana. Incorporating graffiti shapes and palette, in my opinion, creates a fun atmosphere for the waiting area. There are parts of my painting that were inspired by Eskenazi Health’s existing art collection. I challenge the viewers to identify them.
