Video showing inspiration and abstract art through expressionism
How do you express creatively what you feel when you feel inside? Imagination and existential forces creates the inspiration. The brush fires season has started up again and is a reminder of the Thomas Fire that came close to us and impacted so many lives a couple of years ago. “Firenado” is an attempt to capture that ‘feeling inside” in an abstract expressionist style of the fire tornadoes. By painting it abstractly it seems more real to me. I am trying to get to the core of what it is. I’m trying to paint the emotion of the sky and the fire storm in this contemporary painting, And the only way that it seems possible to do is to make it modern and abstract it - and then it seems more authentic to try and paint the excitement of it.
Abstract – semi-abstract Art
I title a lot of my abstract art as if they were landscapes. This is the way I actually see and think about them. To me, they are landscape paintings but I know others may not see the same things in them that I do. You may look at the painting and associate the image from something in your memory - recognizing a shape or form or color that reminds you of things past.
