totem plate by Peter Schwartz

Thanks to Peter Schwartz for this week’s art, totem plate. Here is what he has to say about its creation:

When I was painting ‘totem plate’ I was very interested in texture and bodies. The simple, minimalist figure against a textural background illuminated by a circle of light can be a symbol of many things: endurance, hope, protection. A clear definition of the totem plate and its origins is not available at this time.
