EQUATORIAL Painting

As an abstract expressionist painter with 20 years of experience, my work is deeply rooted in my spiritual and cultural influences. I was first inspired by the gestural and philosophical approach of French Abstract Lyrical painter Georges Mathieu, then I explored my own ways, infused by my practice of Buddhist meditation and shamanic explorations. My love for Chinese and Japanese calligraphy often shines through my art, as well as the 15 years I have lived in Singapore, as it has deepened my love and respect for Asian traditional cultures. My process is driven by intuition and emotion, allowing the canvas to guide me as I layer and blend vibrant hues to create dynamic and energetic compositions. I do not let a specific concept cloud my mind before I begin painting, instead I allow the process of painting itself to guide the final outcome, embracing the unpredictability and freedom of the abstract form. This painting process is organic and grounded, with a focus on creating a fast and intuitive flow of energy and emotion through the use of acrylic paint, painting knives, and foam rollers. I strive to capture the essence of the very moment, creating bold, spontaneous and expressive pieces that allow for a deep connection between the viewer and the painting. The fusion of my spiritual practice, cultural influences, and energetic painting style results in abstract works that embody movement and emotion. Through the gestural lines and fluid forms in my paintings, I hope to convey a sense of connection to the universal language of the soul. Please contact the artist via www.del-fine.com
