ARIA
An aria by definition is a singular voice with musical accompaniment. Influenced by music from all traditions, the artist created Aria during a time of questioning and societal uncertainty - exploring the urgency to find one's voice in the midst of gray and noise.
Aria as a series is a journey to find focus amid discord. Each work - primarily on canvas - overlays form upon form to reference dimension with the emphasis on a single form emerging from its environment. At times vibrant and at other times delicate, the color and shape are what define the intrinsic perspective of the artwork as a statement or even as a persona.
The materials used are referred to as mixed media because of the combination of traditional and emerging materials. This combination, using classic painting techniques, generates a lasting color intensity and velvety texture on canvas.
