Artist Statement~ I believe the creative process is an ongoing and evolving process with endless results. It is my goal to present art that reflects my positive views of the subject matter I chose to create. As an Art Educator, I continue to grow as an artist. I work with multiple mediums and the human form is one of the subject matters I continue to work with. I also love the freedom creating abstract work allows me and so my work continues to evolve. My work of art can be viewed as a visual distillation of personal life experience, knowledge, intuitive, critical, and abstract thinking. Ray Di Greco Biography I currently reside in Albuquerque, N.M. where I maintain an art studio and where I teach High School Fine Arts Ceramics, and Sculpture. The elements of abstract expressionism, surrealism, figurative (abstract and realism) are all combined and intertwined in my artwork. Each 2-D work is an experiment, and my 3-D work is an interpretation of the human form. My work continues to change and therefore, I have no intended style of art work. My desire to discover new methods and results drives my need to challenge myself to create new work.
