I Create Fluid Paintings And Landscapes Depicting Liberation And Freedom Using Unconventional Methods

ADVERTISEMENT

I am versatile, but primarily, a traditional and abstract artist, capturing energy through light, vibrant color, depth, and texture. The use of exaggerated brushstrokes and abstract color give my landscape paintings life and voice. For example, using a light wash versus directional brushstrokes, followed by dappling of white paint for mist. Both painting techniques are examples to capture the movement of different bodies of water. My landscapes and abstract work consist of a variety of unconventional techniques to achieve the elements portrayed in these colorful paintings. One of the most used techniques in my abstract paintings is the method of mixing each color using acrylic paint, floetrol, and water. Besides, I also mix pouring medium, followed by a few drops of silicone into select colors.

A chemical reaction is created by air bubbles while mixing, the addition of silicone oil, and water. Together, they create “cell-like” forms. I then use a blow torch or heat gun to bring out the cells. I also achieve different designs and textures using household objects such as strainers, straws, and frosting spatulas. The emotions during the creating process are reflected in my unique artworks. Those emotions being liberation (“set free”) and freedom (“being free”). After growing up in the country, my creative ideas come from nature, life, and the absence of human presence. Focusing less on human existence allows me to bring out the personality of nature itself while providing the viewer the opportunity to escape and appreciate all the beauty that surrounds us.
