“Pele Lives”: A Fiery Ode to Kilauea’s Enduring Power

Robert Lyn Nelson’s “Pele Lives” is a vibrant depiction of Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, rendered in oil on metal. The artwork pulsates with energy as fiery oranges and yellows course through blackened volcanic rock, mirroring the dynamic flow of lava. 

Nelson’s brushwork creates a sense of movement and raw power, evoking the awe-inspiring spectacle of an active volcano. The contrasting colors and textures emphasize the dramatic interplay of fire and earth, capturing the essence of creation and destruction inherent in volcanic activity. 

In Hawaiian mythology, Pele is the goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes, and is considered the creator of the Hawaiian Islands. It is believed that Pele resides in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater of Kilauea. 

This original oil painting offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of art that embodies both the natural splendor and the spiritual significance of this iconic volcano. Discerning collectors of contemporary landscape art will find “Pele Lives” to be an exceptional addition to their collection.
