Blue Star, 2019 - Mixed Media on Canvas (18x24” In.) 





Impressions series:



This series of works show an interplay of transition between organic forms and geometric structures, and sense of colors.
The creation of the images deals with the act of painting and drawing with images digitally reworked and reimpressed/superimposed from my own paintings.








A posteriorly, from this process I restructure, paint and draw on the painterly surface again rediscovering new images. The name Impressions refers to various layers of meanings as well as a working process. There is a meaning of psychological imprint as well as the physicality of repetition of the same image as a module to create new images in layers and construct new spaces/ surfaces. Naturally there is also the reference to Impressionism in the pointillist technique, a constant of my work for 30 years as well as its relationship with the artists in the 19th century who conceptualized art and technique of color,

The techniques used are photography, inkjet/acrylic/pastel/graphite on paper or on canvas.
