My work has a minimalist style that reflects both the natural environment and a love of abstraction. Asian brush painting, Encaustic, and Fresco combine .
Message"Blue Antiquarian" is a captivating mixed-media composition that draws attention with its intricate textures and layered design. The artwork features a central section, roughly square in shape, dominated by an abstract blue focal point. Surrounding this vibrant blue area are patches of yellow, white, and reddish-brown, interspersed with scribble-like lines that add a lively sense of spontaneity and motion.
An intriguing element of "Blue Antiquarian" is the strip of unevenly layered, corrugated material positioned above the central design. This feature introduces a three-dimensional aspect, enhancing the artwork's depth and engaging the viewer on multiple levels. The background is painted in a subdued, earthy tone, exhibiting visible textural variations that contribute to the piece's organic and tactile aesthetic.
The overall composition masterfully blends abstract expression with physical texture, resulting in a visually stimulating and thought-provoking piece. Inspired by a love for antiques, old houses, and stucco walls, "Blue Antiquarian" invites viewers to explore its complex layers and dynamic interplay of colors and materials. The use of fresco substrate, ink, raw pigments, and wax adds to the artwork’s unique tactile quality, making it a standout addition to any collection.
