Common Ground Painting

When creating my art, I feel as though I am part of the painting, so hands on that I am immersed in it in such a way that actually feels like sculpting. The process of layering, taking away, scratching, the use of palate knives, forks, string are all part of the creation. It gives it more dimension and contrast to accentuate the surface. My use of color has been a strong element in my paintings. I use meditation as a guide before I start to paint. Typically, I’m drawn to a certain color palette and continue to follow the subtle urges of how the painting will evolve through the movement of color. It’s a dance of sorts with not so orchestrated shapes as the painting emerges. Then again once in awhile it’s just simple and pure. ZsuZsanna says “Art is about discovery, and following that to wherever the process may lead”.
