Wild Rodeo — Mixed media on canvas

This piece brings to life a surreal and daring spectacle: a cowboy fearlessly riding a charging rhinoceros. The artwork combines bold acrylic textures with the raw, unpredictable qualities of encaustic on the bottom layer, creating depth and dimension. The luminous blue and pink sky introduces an ethereal backdrop, juxtaposing the rugged, earthy tones of the rhino and desert. The encaustic medium adds a tactile, almost molten quality to the base, grounding the fantastical narrative in tangible realism. This dynamic composition speaks to the indomitable human spirit and the timeless challenge of taming what cannot be tamed.
