Redin Winter

I delve into the realm of abstract art to bridge the gap between our inner and outer worlds. My artistic process involves layering various mediums, including acrylic paint, ink, charcoal, and modeling paste on several paintings at once. I work intuitively and instinctually without a premeditated end goal. I imagine myself to be an alchemist who transforms and transmutes materials into artistic creations. Inspiration stems from the natural world and organic forms, exploring the connection between human experience and the environment. My work investigates the tensions between light and dark, fantasy and reality, myth and faith. I am fascinated by our emotional, psychological, and spiritual relationships to these tensions. Through the use of recognizable environmental cues such as color, texture, shape, and composition, the viewer is invited into the abstracts, allowing for deeper exploration. Every aspect of our fast-paced environment demands our attention, constantly and persistently, turning everything into a quick-to-consume experience. My artwork resists this trend. The art offers a respite from the fast-paced world, inviting the viewer to slow down, encouraging introspection, self-reflection and daydreaming.
