Bart DeGraaf: Fine Art "I find the act of painting to be euphoric. I have a passion for color, texture, movement and design that I try to convey in my paintings. The imagery I use is pulled from my surroundings, experiences, and my imagination. My paintings begin by utilizing abstract shapes to fill the space on the canvas. From there the painting evolves into compositions in which color and texture is the primary subject. The image is not the focus of the piece, but rather part of the process. My goal when painting is to have the elements of design, color, and texture unleash a sense of emotion for the viewer. My hope is that when someone looks at one of my paintings that they make a connection and enter my world for a brief moment in time." |
