As most of you know I no longer create art, so these are pieces that have been part of my personal collection. Because I am moving abroad I decided to ease on the transportation and let go of some of the pieces. This becomes your chance to own a valuable piece of art at an unusually low price.
the violin series
In this series I use real violins that were saved from being destroyed. I have a very few of these left, so take your pick now.
the Organic paintings
I call these the Organic paintings because all the materials i’ve used are organic—real leaves from Central Park in NYC, cotton canvas, pure pigments and resin. They are usually large format because of the nature of the materials I used. There are only 4 of these paintings left.
the classical paintings
There are very few paintings of this series left. They are from my early years in the USA. In this series I used the techniques of the old masters—grounding and mixing my own paint, just as they did. The colors are not mixed on a canvas, but are applied in very thin transparent layers of paint. Each layer has to dry completely before applying the next layer. The various layers “mix” in the retina of the eyes to create the color. Initially the paintings were 2-dimensional, then I began to combine abstract sculpture with the classical paintings. Eventually that lead me to create more abstract works that became the Violin series.
the NOTES series
The Notes paintings are created over post-it notes with various messages collected over long periods of time. I attached the notes to canvas and then painted in gestural and intuitive ways that cover some of the writing while other remain readable.
