About Artwork:
No. 050 is created with Golden Acrylic paint and Iridescent Stainless Steel (Fine). The actual metal particles in the acrylic paint in combination with the artist's painting process create the texture on the surface of the wood panel. The artist who made this artwork is a colorblind person (deuteranomaly) which is why the artwork is rich with texture juxtaposed with a flat smooth surface. The Artwork is a physical manifestation of me investigating, interrogating, and questioning this unknown acrylic paint named Iridescent Stainless Steel (Fine).
The Artist's Process:
The artist created this artwork by brushing thousands of layers of paint for very long periods of time on the wood panel, to produce that sense of mystery and fixation. The Artwork possesses a sandy texture and a sparkly quality; it reminds me of moist beach sand gently shimmering under warm sunlight after being kissed by a receding wave.
About Artist:
I invented my own painting technique, employing a heat gun to manipulate and transmute acrylic paint to express my vision of exploration into an unknown realm of texture, color and phenomena. I am a colorblind person, my disability caused me to have an 'artist's reaction' to create artwork that explores the growth of texture, the reaction of light, and the manipulation of external forces that are the primary source of inspiration and knowledge generating possibilities of a painterly surface. Trusting in my internal truth, my artwork prioritizes decades of accumulated thoughts and experiences in the application of my own artistic process to manifest the forging of my own path in the Artworld. I was born in the Philippines in 1973, I immigrated and lawfully resided in the United States beginning in 1979, I then naturalized as a citizen of the United States in 2005. Living in Orange County I studied Traditional Western drawing and painting techniques. After acquiring a BFA at Art Center College of Design in 2000 and an MFA at California State University Fullerton in 2018 my visual arts training shifted to philosophy and theory inspiring the scholarly pursuit to break away from the reliance on European art-making traditions; to, research and develop my own art making practice distinctly shaped by an American perspective based on personal experiences and intuition; essentially evolving into a new visual arts identity. My address to the viewer is to observe the artwork dispassionately and with interest. Take in the color, the light, the texture, and the beauty of the thing. Then consume the mystery of it and allow for the questions of curiosity to enter the mind. Finally, enjoy it for what you see is what you see.
