Artist statement:
the intention behind this piece was to represent energy, gravity, and the strong and weak nuclear force. Choosing warm and earth colors I wanted to represent the ongoing change of energy, then adding gold to represent a burst of spirit splashing through. I also wanted to challenge the element of gravity with every stroke of brush that abstracted energy waves of the spirit.
As I did my research on Flux I found a lot of inspiration, I found many abstract pieces that stood out to me and I combined what I liked and created this painting.
I also used gold leaf for the first time, it was fun working wild gold leaf, but I didn’t expect the leaf to be so thin.
My artwork fits in surrealism/ abstract, this is a different painting for me I have never used any of these techniques before. I learned something new with every brushstroke and I let my subconscious play.
