Lydia MarekArtist Statement - 2020“Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No. Just as one can never learn how to paint.” – Pablo PicassoI have always been attracted to color, texture and movement in art and when I began to paint, I found ways to incorporate these into my pieces.? I work with acrylics as they allow me to develop vibrantly colored paintings that showcase different strokes, techniques of paint use, and various textured mediums resulting in a dynamic piece that speaks to me. And, I’m just too impatient for watercolor or oil painting!!I typically approach my painting with an idea of a color palette and sometimes include textured mediums and then the paintings develop in an organic way. I pull colors, layer and layer, and sometimes pour paint and spray while watching the paints puddle and move. Layering paint and using different mediums and strokes ends up with a lot of texture and movement. I hope others get a sense of color, play, and dynamism when they look at my work. I am self-taught and enjoy using the other part of my brain since retiring as a Research Scientist at Virginia Tech! ................
