James Mazzitelli

each piece originates as a stream of conscious vision, a rapid pulse of an image that flashes in front of me.
a sound pattern bouncing in my ears invoking a rhythm to compose the painting around.
igniting the concept of each work.
this confluence of sound/vision gives the work its pulse and beat.

untrained as a painter, the struggle is viable before the clarity is revealed.
