"Detail Transformed" Painting

The process of imagining and creating a work of art always involves distinct elements of personal introspection, imagination, vision, risk- taking, transformation, the mystery of the accidental, spontaneity, etc. In this painting, I tried to capture and reincarnate a fragment, a detail from a larger painting executed several years before. This fragment fascinated me, for it contained the intrinsic aspects of a dynamic new composition, that could be the source for an entirely new work of art that manifested a totally new direction structurally in terms of movement, line, design and color. The fragment I focused on, brought to mind, the many times I traveled by plane and gazed below to see the structural and textured typography of the different countries, the islands, mountains, valleys, hills, waterways below, land shapes and contours, etc. In my study of art history I learned the concept of ‘Multiplicity Within Unity’ or that a single fragment in the whole work of art, could be extracted, blown-up and taken out of context and eventually function as a part of a whole to be transformed into a totally, new exciting image and vision. This concept became the origin and inspiration for this textured, expressive surging flow of paint, colors, forms and shapes in this painting.
