Up Close & Personal

We should be awed everyday by what we see in our surroundings.  Art has the capacity to make that happen, it is a mode of expression that exposes us to something new that can inspire how we feel.  Art is an essential part of our culture that improves the mind and develops our concern for what is good and creates substance within our society.  Supporting the Arts has the ability to change how we think about our everyday lives.  Buying art work by craftspeople who produce quality form through skill and knowledge are the people that need our support.  The  energy and time that is involved honing these skills can take years.  Your support is greatly needed.

Abstract-Fractal Collection in Four Seasons

  1. Abstract -Fractal Art in Four Season      This Collection of paintings are Mono-Prints that represent a phenomenon in nature, called fractals, that surround are every day lives.The primary design of these paintings is rendered with drops of paint, creating the patterns in a fractal manner.  To simple define a fractal, it can be said that it is a geometrical or physical structure having an irregular or fragmented shape that repeat itself at different scales.The representation of the different sizes in this specific Collection is very significant for the viewer and the Art.  As the gradation of the size of the paintings diminish, there is less space in between the shapes of the paintings, creating a more dense and solid pattern of the design.  It is almost like the structural elements are turning into itself, creating its own unique design.   The largest sizes have a more open and airy feeling to them.The diversity of this collection not only uses size, but a most important element, color.  As in nature, all of the seasons are represented by the specific hues found in the natural surroundings.

    To fully complete the palettes of each season and try to represent as many of the multitude of colors that make up the vastness in nature, each series not only represents a season, but extends it to, an early, middle and late palette.  In this the Artist is trying to include as many conceivable hues, that is very specific to each season.    All of the painting also, have a mirror image of the original one and are sold in sets to balance the work of Art.

Color & The Essence of Time in Art

If Time measures our existence, then what validates the continuance of time.  The most natural occurrence that surrounds our lives everyday which demonstrates and reveals the passage of time, is the change of seasons.  One of the most striking and visual aspects that occurs in this natural  phenomenon is the wide spectrum of color each season embodies and each season is sustained uniquely.

Every painting that is rendered in each collection is influenced by this natural law of color.  Each original painting uses a palette highly diverse in colors, that represent the cycle of time. The study of color is of prime importance because each painting must reveal itself to the viewer, which constitutes a change that represents the essence of time passing.  To recognize the difference of each season, the colors must personify that specific season, so that it stands on its own.  All of us are drawn to certain colors that conveys  particular feelings,

which can give us a sense of calm and enjoyment.  Thus when  we surround ourselves with art, where the element of color is strongly adopted in the design of the painting,our senses are heightened.  The four painting here, represent each season.  The color palette’s of each season are very unique.

Date started on 2012 and on going.

The primary design in this series of paintings are executed with black ink or black epoxy resign, on a white wood panel and then finished with a gouache wash IMG_0240 (533x800)overlay. The colors are intended to IMG_0242 (533x800)maintain a flat finish instead of a glossy one and yet project the purity of the colors intensity. I choose a Designers Gouache to achieve this look, also the technique gives a different approach to the traditional water color rendering.
The hues are precise color mixes that combines and organizes the colors not only as color harmony in Art, but to stimulate the esthetic feeling of the paintings.
To this date,2013, there are 6- 24in.x36in Paintings on wood panel.

Series-Fashion Women of 2011

“Women of Fashion-2011”

 

Expressing ourselves in everyday life helps us communicate with the rest of the world. It can be as simple as the cloths we choose to wear.  This thought process encompasses the world of fashion and design, which has significance to our culture, personality and our relationship with other people.  It  is a way of being in touch, being noticed, just like language and different  symbols articulate the need to be heard.

The series of this collection of paintings entitled, “ Women of 2011” were inspired by the world of fashion.  The color schemes encompass  the four seasons of nature, also the transgression from youth to adulthood, with the  specific personality  traits of a romantic, casual, sporty, modern, elegant and sophisticated self.  When two or more figures are visible in the painting, this represents multiple personality traits.  Example: the women of  the autumn season can be natural, solitary, chic or can be of different ethnic backgrounds, like Japanese or American.

The mixed medium in these works are metallic pigments, used in the background color, then coated with epoxy resin.

The women’s silhouettes are made of paper, coated with epoxy resin, then placed on top of the metallic pigments.  Several coats of epoxy are applied to fuse the base colors and the silhouettes together. These painting are 11in.x 14in., painted on  wood panels.
