My textural abstract work comes from an accumulation of years of exploring texture and color relationships. Each piece is comprised of layers of oil paint, using no medium, and left to dry prior to the application of the next layer. These paintings are reflective of the many layers we all possess within the totality of being human. Each event, each tragedy, each joy leaves a mark. This has been a theme throughout all of my various styles of artistic expression.
Abstract work in oil using various tools from squeegees, to trowels. No medium is used in the oil and the layers are applied sequentially as they dry to build texture and color contrast.
Essarai is an abstract composition characterized by a vibrant interplay of colors and textures. The canvas is dominated by a chaotic, yet harmonious blend of red, blue, yellow, and white, which seems to dance across the surface in a series of dripping and splattered patterns. The layers of paint create a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to explore the intricacies of each interaction between the hues.
This piece showcases a mastery in the abstract expressionist style, capturing the emotions and energy of spontaneous creation. The bold use of color is particularly striking, evoking a sense of passion and intensity. The contrasting warm and cool tones create a dynamic tension, making the artwork lively and engaging.
There is a rawness in the texture that gives the piece an organic and tactile quality. The layering of paint not only adds depth but also introduces a narrative of creation and destruction, as some areas appear to reveal underlying layers, suggesting a process of continual transformation.
