Violini 2 Painting

I try to capture the changing state of the world around us in my art. I like to incorporate the suggestion of fossils, ancient tombs, pyramids, mazes, altars and ancient ruins along with modern overlays. By using various layering techniques I often times am able to give my paintings an aging quality suggesting falling leaves, tree bark and natural structures decaying over time. I then overlay more formal structures that you would not find in the natural world. Other times I use surrealistic qualities of mists and shadows, layers of transparencies. I believe that the combination of these elements gave my art a depth that allows people can see different aspects and personal representations when viewing them from one time to the next.
