Effulgence Painting

Stylistically, my work can be described as "pure" abstraction, where meaning is determined by the viewer's subjective interpretation of the arrangement and relationship between line, shape, color, and space (perspective). The pigments present in the color palette complement the golden auric circle in the piece. In my personal painting style, I utilize color as a material and I enjoy being flexible with it. While its qualities are sensuous, color itself can be particularized, in that it "comes apart." Providing dissonance and consonance, my usage of color adds small counterpoints and contrasts that may not be noticed to the casual viewer at first glance. Similar to the philosophical theory of "organicism", color offers great variety of combination within itself; it balances all that can be done without color: depth, placement, and volume.
