Fractals, Chaos, Mandelbrot Set, Mandela's, Signs, Symbols, Stories & Dualities, beauty reflecting beauty. Abstract art are those aesthetics under a microscope or a telescope, either so close or so distant that what was once representational has new representation and meaning.
“Art is a language, an instrument of knowledge, an instrument of communication.”
— Jean Dubuffet
I create abstract & representational artworks, plus a fusion of sorts. Each fuel the other as an expression of ideas, thoughts, beliefs and a statement about how I see life, how I experience it, how I share it. I’m often in the unique situ where I’m given a broad range of reactions & critics of my work without the viewer knowing I am it’s creator, in the beginning. Whether its a positive or negative reaction, it’s generally most helpful in growing as an artist and a human. That said, when a connection is made, that’s the best, as I feel I’ve communicated something something shared, with that person.
Here’s one example and an especially important one to me. As the patron does not usually purchase abstract art, but sometimes, often times, I hope art mirrors life.
One of my collectors contacted me. She said that she was sitting in her sunroom, enjoying the day, that her Amaryllis had just opened up and with the sun filtering thru the windows, in a certain way, that my painting had a wonderful glow about it. Then she sent me this image. With that, she certainly brightened my day, as well. It's with the deepest gratitude that I thank all my collectors and all the people that support me & my artwork, whether it be 'likes', comments or artworks acquired. Thank you one & all, may we all have an exceptional year.
Thank You patrons, collectors & patrons, as always your comments are welcome~
