Liz Friel Fine Art - Contemporary abstract paintings. Atmospheric, ethereal, and ocean-inspired landscapes/seascapes on canvas and board.

STATEMENT ABOUT MY ART
Abstract painting communicates emotion and thought in an alternative perspective. The idea of communication that is further involved is about memories, the unconscious, how the image in the painting resembles something. Certain images, textures and compositions can cause emotions and visions to surface yet still lay vague to the viewer. My intention is in hope that viewers will find something under the surface, to look beyond the obvious.

Some of my motivation emerges from an attraction to line, light and space designs in interior areas and architecture. However, it really comes down to creating art because I need to for myself.

Thank you for viewing my artwork.

About the artwork;
Most paintings are acrylic on 1 1/2 inch canvas, stapled and signed on back!

I live in South East Florida with my artist husband, D. Friel, and 2 children.

Thank you,
Liz Friel
