Dreams of Surf Painting

Dreams of Surf was a purposeful exploration in creating random textures using slightly mismatching, monochromatic colors as an experiment, with the sole purpose of seeking its unexpected effect. The result was more exciting and unified that I could've imagined. Dreams of Surf was titled after a song of the same name by the Composer Vangelis. This painting is framed in a german silver aluminum floater frame. As framed, the painting is 37x37x2 Inches. The painting itself is 36x36 Inches and is finished with many isolation coats and several layers of professional removable satin/matte polymer varnish. Despite their names, my art is nonobjective. I am inspired by texture, happenstance and the patina of worn surfaces; natural and manmade. I see grace and nostalgia in their visual history. I think this sensitivity allows me to approach my work with an uninhibited perspective on aesthetics, using color and visual texture as the primary elements in my geometric compositions. Each painting takes me on its own journey in which I intuitively listen and respond, incorporating of a variety of techniques and countless layers of acrylic and mixed media, constantly accumulating and reducing the applied materials until each piece finds its own end.
