Creating Art with texture

After creating artwork with figurative portraits, I’m back again at painting abstracts. This time playing with textures. I really liked doing this pieces, playing around with acrylic skins and textile.

After I finishes the first piece, I noticed it had the same color scheme as the previous portrait I did. My mind is a sponge for sure.

The second piece I did, I decided to add strips of fabric I had from another multimedia piece I will share with you soon. I have a time-lapse vide that I did so you can se my process. You can watch it below.

Mix Media art process created with acrylic, acrylic skins, textile, and wax crayons

This last piece reminds me of Las Salinas in Cabo Rojo Puerto Rico, a salt flat that forms a pretty pink lake. Is a great visit if you are in the island.

Can’t wait to create a bigger body of work with skins!!

Expressive Abstract Portrait

Expressive brush strokes are my favorite. Letting go of control is so satisfying for me, I can’t explain it with words, but is fantastic. After creating my mini portraits studies, I went on to paint a bigger canvas. A portrait of a woman, that could be me or could be any one. I really enjoyed creating her.

You see her and you think she is hiding, but I really think she is emerging. I’m very exited about creating more pieces like this, so I will keep you updated.

Have a great day!!!
