The chemical formula of the turquoise stone


The turquoise stone is the stone of Taurus, my zodiac sign.
I like the contrast between the uncontrolled abstract pattern and the graphic, perfectly straight letters of its chemical formula - two very different ways to understand the stone.
I create the pattern by pouring a lot of watery acrylic colors on to the canvas while lying on the floor, then tilt the canvas around to make the colors flow in all directions.
