The use of spray paint in my recent works...

During the summertime, I reintroduced faces into my works for variety. When working with the human figure, I started amalgamating different contexts within the same painting to create some ambiguity and add interest (click on the image to visit my website)...

More recently, I started using spray paint as an effort to get closer to street artists and as a challenge...

Latest works...

 The last few months have seen a variety of subjects even including a collaboration with my partner in crime Nicole who specializes in pouring techniques. I also started mixing acrylic modeling paste with acrylic gel to enhance colors one iota. By clicking on the image you will access these works on my Web site: 

Recent works...

My recent works still focus somewhat on textures, but a preoccupation for more colors is slowly manifesting itself... after a long monochromatic period... 

 

Transitioning slowly to thicker paint...

Some of my latest works in that transition:

As usual, I'm responding to what strikes me in the world...

Last works exploring textures....

Over the last few months, lines, textures and colors have been on my mind, at times with political overtones ...

I'm trying to tap my inner self...

Pursuing acrylic paste...

My last few paintings reflect my recent preoccupation with pure colors and impasto paint...

My process includes a black ink rendition, the addition of semi-transparent colors and finally the application of thicker paint passages. Each step could be a finished product and, in essence, each step reflects a technique that I like. I don't let go of anything!

Notes: for me, my transitions to different approaches are usually slow!I think my next step is to use all the above techniques simultaneously and with total freedom!

Some meandering with acrylic paste techniques...

My transition from fluid paint to impasto paint has been gradual over the last few months. Initially, it was a mixture of both techniques, and now I realize that I'm really after maintaining this kind of freshness. I went really thick with this painting below...

... but finally landed with a better balance with this one, in my view...

My art is becoming more and more engaged!
