Fortuna Brevis: Mal Fortuna and Buena Fortuna 

​  This acrylic diptych is based on two digital collages consisting of three layers.  It is painted in acrylic on two black gessoed canvases measuring  31 inches by 56 inches each. 
   Mal Fortuna is the representation of the goddess of bad luck in ancient Rome.  The woman is based off of a statue of Fortuna, and the ovals are based off of a sketch by Al Biruni’ who was an 11th-century mathematician, astronomer and scholar.  The drawing is of the phases of the moon.  Her green aura is meant as deception, seemingly healthy and vital, but actually toxic.  The spirals in her background grow downward.  She is half of the Fortuna Brevis diptych.  Buena Fortuna is the representation of the goddess of good luck in ancient Rome.  The woman is based off of a mirror images of a statue of Fortuna. Her red aura is meant as a symbol of vitality.    The spirals in her background reach upward.  She is half of the Fortuna Brevis diptych.
