about:
During my residency at Amazon, I'm delving into the fascinating realm of color and circles, and I'd love for you to be a part of it! Together, we'll explore how colors can evoke emotions and memories, translating them into captivating works of art. We'll create color palettes inspired by your unique stories and experiences, documenting our creative journey along the way. Additionally, we'll be painting larger pieces on custom circle canvases and curating themed playlists to set the mood. But it's not all about the art – community engagement is key! Join in activities like Mood Circles and Project Postcards to preserve our shared experiences. And if you're keen, I'll host some laid-back artist talks and paint workshops where we can discuss mural making and dive into color theory. So let's blend creativity with professionalism and make some colorful memories at the Amazon Spheres!
about the artist:
My work is inspired by a quote from local DJ Gabe Teodros, 'If a tree can't grow there, I can't grow there,' which highlights the struggle of flourishing in challenging environments. Often, my art portrays nature and animals thriving amidst manmade surroundings such as industrial areas and urban landscapes, where the natural order might be overlooked. I achieve this by fluidly incorporating colors, selecting palettes from the surrounding area, and experimenting with shades, complimentary colors, and my favorite, neons! My figurative work encourages the imagination, envisioning concepts like how a wolf might appear in a fantastical technicolor dream. My goal is to continually experiment and play with shapes and colors, aiming to bring elements of the outside world into my art.
