Carpe Diem

“Carpe Diem” by Rolinda Stotts is an awe-inspiring mixed media artwork created using her signature Bella Rotta technique. The piece captures the grandeur of a snow-covered mountain, its ridges and valleys accentuated by shadows and sunlight, invoking a sense of adventure and tranquility. Stotts masterfully uses layers and textures to create a fractured yet harmonious surface, reminiscent of ancient frescoes, which enhances the natural beauty of the rugged landscape. The sky, a vibrant blue, contrasts with the crisp whites of the snow, inviting viewers to seize the day, as the title suggests, and immerse themselves in the majesty of nature.

This artwork is both a visual and tactile experience, reflecting Stotts’ unique ability to blend the fleeting beauty of the moment with the timelessness of the mountains. The weathered edges of the canvas add an authentic, rustic charm, reminding us that the splendor of nature endures, no matter the passage of time.
