Freddie Quintana

A American abstract artist living in Germany. My paintings feature versatile colouring and interesting textures. I describe myself as an experimental artist because I work with so many different materials and like to experiment with paint and use things other artists don’t use… trying to make them one of a kind. I paint with acrylic paints and I try to use water-based paint, so I can easily mix the colours. I usually don’t work with a paint brush, I mostly work with a large spatula and a regular spatula pounding the paint onto the canvas. To give it a hidden effect I also use a drip paint technic. To give my paintings an old reclaimed wood look I use chalky paints to create the shabby chic effect, I just love things that look old and vintage. I also like to experiment with different materials for example I used crinkled cardboard and added paint to it, to create a 3D effect for the painting. I also like working with a variety of different media such as duct tape, wallpaper, deco patch paper and cut out paper which can be employed in different ways. With all these techniques I have created pieces of art, which are open for interpretation. I feel that a painting should be a canvas for your imagination, so that you can create a story ...
