About The Artwork

This painting will be a match for mid-century modern home aesthetics or for eclectic and sophisticated homes and offices. It has a contemporary big city urban aesthetic. This is a layered painting of abstract concepts. At the bottom are patches of shimmering color. The next layer is composed of bold rough scratchy paint strokes in different colors with varying angles. Over that is a layer with thin short strokes in various colors and endless squiggles. The bottom layer is acrylic paint. The middle layer is composed of acrylic paint strokes and strokes with oil stick and oil pastel. The top layer was composed with oil pastel and oil stick. The oil stick and oil pastel are more intense representatives of color than even acrylic paint. These two medium take a long period to dry, but are luscious in their color depth and worth the wait. I wanted to create a piece in abstraction that is contemporary but not derivative. My goal was to speak in a current language with my own voice. I hope you enjoy the view. It is full of movement and life.
