Divergence Painting

Hi, I am Mutlu Ertac: I was born in 1961 in Turkey .I have been painting in Oil and Acrylic since 1983. I met Vincent Farrell in Laguna beach, California in 2000, who was a very well known Plein-air artist who was also Sergei Bongart's student in his early career years. I studied under Vincent Farrell for 4 years.The distinctive, broad strokes of color on canvas serve as my signature style. My colors are harmoniously arranged, seeking simplicity and pure shimmering of light and color in my paintings. My work reflects my development in art from traditional paintings towards contemporary works. I like to use broad ,vivid colors and sudden large brush strokes to create an image that is spontaneous but very well thought before applied on Canvas... I am a colorist, working in exaggerated color, using dynamic but carefully controlled color relationships and in my abstract works ,I approach the painting as color first , feeling that is expressed and later the composition and whole idea of the art to fit together.... I apply the paint and after the paint is put on Canvas , I try to not disturb again by overworking...Image already in my mind, so It only takes few strokes to apply on Canvas...  WEBSITE : mutluertac.com INSTAGRAM : @mutlu.ertac_art
