BIG, BOLD AND COLORFUL…… THE THREE
MAIN ELEMENTS I STRIVE TO ACHIEVE IN
MY PAINTINGS...
I LIKE
TO WORK USING A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT
KINDS OF PAINT ON LARGE CANVASES OR
WOOD USING AS MUCH COLOR AND TEXTURE
AS POSSIBLE. I ENJOY USING A HUGE
PALETTE AND BRINGING ALL THOSE
WONDERFUL COLORS TOGETHER IN AN
INTERESTING AND UNIQUE WAY CREATING
NOT ONLY A WELL BALANCED PIECE BUT A
STRIKING ONE AS WELL.
WITH MY
LATEST WORKS I HAVE USED A SPINNING
METHOD WHICH ALSO GIVES MUCH
MOVEMENT AND BOLD ENERGY TO THE
PIECES. I AM ENJOYING THE
EXPRESSIVENESS THE PAINTINGS ARE
TAKING ON WHILE I FURTHER EXPLORE
THIS TECHNIQUE. |
