About this artwork
All paint on this canvas was splattered from other paintings. No paint was directly applied to the canvas. This dynamic artwork is a vibrant explosion of color and texture, masterfully executed through a complex interplay of hues and forms. The canvas is drenched in a myriad of colors, ranging from deep, resonant blues to fiery reds and oranges, interspersed with stark whites and earthy browns. Each color appears as a unique splash or dot, creating a pulsating rhythm across the canvas. Foremost, the use of splatter technique is evident, with droplets and dribbles of paint skillfully applied to form a chaotic yet harmonious composition. The textural variety is striking, as thick patches of paint coalesce with more delicate splatters, giving the piece a three-dimensional quality. This creates an engaging visual experience that draws the viewer deeper, urging them to explore the countless details within the abstract field. The artwork's vivid contrasts highlight the tension and cohesion between different colors and shapes, leading to a sense of movement and energy. This kinetic force suggests an underlying narrative of creation and destruction, a chaotic dance that captivates the imagination. The precision in the chaos indicates a deliberate orchestration, where each splash, dribble, and dollop of paint is placed with intentionality, adding to the depth and intrigue of the piece. Overall, this artwork is a tour de force of contemporary abstract expressionism, combining robust technique with an emotive potency that demands attention and reflection. It is a captivating testament to the power of color and form in evoking complex emotional and intellectual responses.

About the artist
I have come to a realization about myself and my art. I am impatient and I have need for instant gratification. I get frustrated with time consuming traditional techniques and want to skip ahead to the end. It is for these reasons that I am a series artist. I like to experiment with new ideas until I am satisfied with the result then I move on to a new one. Sometimes the result can lead the next series. The inspiration for a lot my work is in the trying of the new techniques. Having freedom of expression and not being limited to one style of making art are paramount to my identity as an artist.
