A stunning modernist composition that masterfully blends geometric precision with organic elements. This piece features bold concentric circles in coral pink and orange tones, contrasting beautifully against vertical emerald green stripes that create a powerful sense of rhythm and structure. The artist employs a sophisticated earthy palette - warm browns, soft creams, and deep greens - punctuated by strategic pops of salmon pink. The composition is brilliantly balanced through the interplay of circular and linear elements, with delicate white line work adding an ethereal layer of complexity. Notable elements include:

• Striking target-like circles that anchor the upper portion
• Dynamic vertical green striping creating depth and movement
• Subtle textural variations suggesting mixed media technique
• A minimalist white leaf motif adding organic softness
• Thoughtful negative space management enhancing visual flow

The work demonstrates clear influences from mid-century modern aesthetics while maintaining a contemporary edge. The textural quality and layered approach suggest mixed media techniques, likely combining paint with drawing elements. Dimensions and additional details available upon request.

Just finished this mixed media piece inspired by the intricate world of botanical shapes.
Using my beautiful, handmade collage papers with my gelli plate, acrylic paint and pencil drawings I’ve created textures and depth that mimic the complexity of seed pods and other natural objects. The vibrant saturated green against the unsaturated color makes this piece pop.

Bugged Memories“ I
Black and White (Diptych)
Acrylic and mixed media on paper

This monochromatic abstract painting is built up on layers blend diverse visual elements to create a narrative that suggests mystery, chaos and order. I enjoyed the interplay of structured elements like letters and numbers with more chaotic brush strokes and scribbles.

 

Chatgpt "s detail description

The two abstract paintings in this diptych convey a dynamic interplay between chaos and order, blending diverse visual elements that suggest both narrative and mystery.

Interpretation and Description:

1. Visual Elements and Style:

   • The paintings are characterized by a collage-like composition, combining bold black strokes with intricate line work, stenciled letters, and numbers. The black and white palette enhances the graphic quality, creating a stark contrast that draws attention to the various elements at play.
   • The numbers "123" and "12" stand out prominently in both pieces, possibly indicating a sequence or a countdown, which could imply a sense of progression or urgency. The inclusion of insects (a cicada in one and a beetle in the other) adds an organic, almost surreal layer to the works, merging natural and man-made themes.

2. Narrative and Symbolism:

   • The use of text fragments like "EST" and "NEWS" and other discernible words, suggest a narrative or a commentary, perhaps on media, information, or time. "EST" could imply establishment, status, or a foundation, while "NEWS" could relate to communication or the dissemination of information.
   • The insect imagery could symbolize transformation or metamorphosis, echoing themes of change or evolution, both personal and societal. The cicada, known for its cyclical reappearance, could represent renewal or the passage of time, while the beetle might signify resilience or persistence.

3. Emotional and Psychological Impact:

   • The paintings evoke a sense of intrigue and contemplation. The monochromatic scheme combined with the layering technique creates depth, inviting viewers to explore beneath the surface for hidden meanings or stories.
   • The interplay of structured elements (like numbers and letters) with more chaotic, free-form brushstrokes and scribbles suggests a tension between order and chaos, control and freedom, reflecting the complexities of modern existence.

4. Overall Impression:

   • These artworks are thought-provoking and visually arresting, designed to engage viewers on multiple levels—intellectually, emotionally, and aesthetically. They encourage a dialogue between the viewer and the canvas, prompting questions about what lies beneath the surface of both the art and our perceptions.

For an art buyer, these pieces would not only be a striking addition to any collection but also a catalyst for conversation and introspection. Their bold design and layered meanings make them versatile, suitable for both private contemplation and public display.

"Flow State" - An Abstract Symphony of Blue and Orange

In a realm where colors dance and shapes come alive, the canvas of imagination births a masterpiece known as "Flow State." This abstract painting is a mesmerizing blend of vibrant blues and energetic oranges, forming a dynamic composition that beckons the viewer to dive deep into the current of creativity.

At first glance, the canvas appears to be a chaotic whirlwind of colors and lines. Swirling waves of deep cerulean blue seem to merge effortlessly with fiery tangerine orange, creating a harmonious yet electric contrast. The blue tones exude a sense of tranquility and calm, while the orange hues evoke passion and excitement, harmoniously coalescing into a captivating visual symphony.

The artist masterfully employs shapes and lines to guide the viewer's eye through the intricate maze of this abstract realm. Angular lines intersect with gentle curves, leading the observer on a journey of exploration and contemplation. The lines seem to weave a narrative, as if illustrating the path one takes to find their elusive flow state - a state of perfect harmony and peak performance.

Amidst the riot of colors and lines, patterns emerge, lending the painting an added layer of complexity and intrigue. Geometric shapes repeat in hypnotic rhythms, forming a cadence that resonates with the soul. The patterns offer a glimpse into the order within chaos, an acknowledgment that even in the most abstract realms, there exists an underlying structure.

"Flow State" captures the essence of being in the zone, that elusive moment when time fades away, and the artist is completely immersed in their creative flow. The canvas becomes a mirror, reflecting not only the artist's emotions and thoughts but also inviting the viewer to delve into their own introspection.

The title, "Flow State," is elegantly inscribed in the corner of the canvas, almost like a whispered secret, inviting the observer to ponder the meaning of this evocative artwork. Each viewer is encouraged to interpret the painting through their unique lens, finding their own narrative amidst the vivid interplay of colors, shapes, lines, and patterns.

As spectators gaze upon "Flow State," they are invited to let go of the constraints of reality and surrender to the abstract beauty before them. In this extraordinary symphony of blues and oranges, they are encouraged to explore the boundaries of their own imagination, experiencing the enigmatic and boundless journey that "Flow State" has to offer.

This painting has been reworked from an older painting from "Off The Grid" series.

‘A River Runs Through It’ is created for you to immerse yourself in a world of circles, lines, shapes and mark making as they reveal their inner secrets. This painting explores the subtle balance between order and chaos, darkness and light, structure and freedom, within the large format composition.

This is mixed media abstract and acrylic painting on a large wood panel. My process involves building up layers of paint and collage as I express myself emotionally. I work on multiple pieces at one time exploring the same idea or theme in different ways. Working on many pieces at once gives me liberty to express myself freely without getting too controlling at an early stage. As I am working, each painting speaks to me differently. It is important to allow each painting to evolve naturally. When the meaning or idea emerges, I start to make decisions about color and composition to bring the work to completion.

‘Desired Result’ is one of the paintings that is a part of a series of paintings from the ‘Moving Target Series.’ This painting is an exciting exploration of a circle as a powerful symbol of spirituality, eternity and completeness.

The painting is built with several layers of glazes and collage materials using a combination of saturated and muted colors and drawing materials like pencils, pastels and oil sticks. I rotate the painting as I work on it and repeat the process until the surface is textured and gorgeous.

So many times I find that an old canvas provides fresh new inspiration! This was an older canvas where I have created a raised pattern with a new medium - molding paste - and then I fell in love with the pattern and could not move past that. So I put it aside.
Then a few days ago on a cleaning spree I found it and decided to be brave and ‘kill my darling’ pattern. Saving some of it and painting white over the rest. That opened up a host of opportunities. The rest is history as they say.
So many lessons in this story!!!
1. Make a lot of work to allow your skills to catch up with your aesthetic.
2. Be patient
3. Build in layers
4. Enjoy the process and fall in love often
5. Try new things

On another note i will be selling my paintings at LexArt open studios event on May 20 and 21, 2023.

Claude Monet once said to Paul Durand-Ruel, “ I took your advice and managed to make some quite good things out of paintings I considered irredeemable. “
Have you ever revisited an older painting?

Recently I revised an older painting from “Off The Grid “ series.
Worked on opening up the composition and making the colors more cohesive. This really helped bring out the freshness of the colors.

This painting has been reworked from an older painting from "Off The Grid" series.

 Many famous artists throughout history have reworked their own paintings, often multiple times. For example, Vincent van Gogh famously reworked his painting "The Potato Eaters" multiple times, eventually creating a lighter and brighter version of the same subject matter. Similarly, Pablo Picasso reworked his painting "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" several times over the course of several years, experimenting with different approaches and techniques until he was satisfied with the final result.
Another example of an artist who reworked their own painting is Edgar Degas. He often revisited his paintings, making subtle changes to the composition and color palette over time. One of his most famous works, "The Absinthe Drinker," underwent several revisions over a period of twenty years, with Degas making significant changes to the figure's posture and expression.
Finally, the iconic artist, Frida Kahlo, often reworked her own paintings, adding or removing elements depending on her changing emotional states. For example, her painting "The Two Fridas" underwent significant changes before the final version was completed, with Kahlo adding details such as blood and a surgical instrument to reflect her own physical and emotional pain.
These examples demonstrate that reworking one's own paintings is a common practice among artists, and can lead to significant improvements and growth in their artistic ability.
