Piece description from the artist
‘Energeia’ is a Greek term for the actualization of a potential, the active principle of an entity. Here I am referring to the energy and activity created by juxtaposing the complementary colors such as orange and blue, solid vs. patterned shapes, paint applied with a brush or spatula vs. poured paint – the energy that you feel walking in a dense forest where you feel, hear everything is growing around you and every thing is in movement.
My work explores the relationship between fluidity and control, spontaneity and structure, calmness and exuberance. My process employs liquid oil paint poured on the surface of the canvas. When the different batches of colored paint are poured and the canvas rotated back and forth, the pigments intermingle and fuse into visually striking patterns and shapes. After many years of painting , my process remains largely experimental and improvisational. My aim is to create a space in which contrasting elements are interwoven into organic and fluid compositions. My paintings are about a world in a perpetual state of transformation, an unfolding elegant chaos of energies, a moving buoyant magma of colors and forms frozen into art.
