Can we talk about this 60x60” from 2012? One of my favorite paintings, painted in Seattle in one of my favorite all-time studios @inscapearts and a pivotal piece that really was the beginning of my #lanternseries 🌔🌒🌑🌘🌗 I had always imagined that if this piece never sold it would be one of the paintings that I’d keep with me forever...well: it sold to a couple in Texas who commissioned a third panel, and I’m in the midst of trying to access my 2012 mindset 🙃🙂 what was I thinking about in 2012?!? My life was a completely different world! This commission is due in the coming months so I have some time to wrap my head around this 😎 #ninatichava #archives #2012memories #commission #artistproblems #ilovemyjob #studioview #studiowall (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yfKXZnuLE/?igshid=1nep64wdppf1k

The final large painting for my show! 👏👏👏 “You are my sun, my moon, and all of my stars” 60x90” triptych, mixed media; title from #eecummings and for my soon-to-be-husband Nathan ❤️ from the press release: “A process-driven artist, Tichava painstakingly hand-produces effects and patterns that at first glance look as though they may have been produced by a computer or industrial machine, but upon closer inspection reveal the depth, nuance, and humanity of the artist’s hand. Multi-faceted layers of warp and weft, the rich amalgam of hybrid color, and the deconstructed grids in Tichava’s intricate works allude to the technical malfunctions or glitches in lines of code that can cause visual disruptions to appear in digital images.” The show opens June 14th, through July 10! @turnercarrollgallery #santafe #santafeart #ninatichava #lanternseries #glitched #galleryexhibition (at Turner Carroll Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/BySoPKVnyOR/?igshid=riwb4ntswd05
