Robert Lyn Nelson captures nature’s most powerful, creative and spectacular force.
Volcanoes have been a fascinating subject for artists over many centuries. They continue to inspire as a metaphor to understand creation, mortality and nature itself. Maui-based Robert Lyn Nelson’s new collection perfectly captures the majestic grandeur and power of Hawaii’s volcanoes. These volcanos formed the island chain and continue to change Hawaii's landscape.
According to Hawaiian cultural belief, Pele is the volcano deity and she is embodied by lava and natural forces associated with volcanic eruptions.
For many Hawaiians, Pele is revered with great respect - creating new earth and destroying what needs to change to bring forth new life.
