This is an acrylic painting on canvas, the tenth artwork in a series inspired by the Brazilian artist Lygia Clark (1920-1988), specifically Superficie Modulada, a geometric drawing from 1956 done with graphite and gouache on paper. I'm interested in juxtapositions of color planes, and how colors either come together, or move away from each other. Triangles are just a starting point. I'm also interested in figure/ground interplay, surface and texture exploration and color vibrations. I think of color as having a language or its own. I like geometric shapes because I don't have to reinvent anything. However, the colors are carefully positioned and thought out. In this painting, I started with a light pink/salmon background that also includes a surprisingly bright red (cadmium red light precisely). I have also painted some of the foreground triangles with a scumbling technique. In other triangles I have applied a glazing technique. There is an interplay between the colors... which one stands out the more? What would happen if I were to eliminate one color?

Argentina
I am an American artist and visual arts teacher. I dedicated 17 years to teaching visual art at two international schools in Argentina and China, and one private school in the US. I obtained a BFA degree with a concentration in painting and printmaking from the University of Michigan. I had my first individual art show in 1991 at the Luigi Marrozzini Gallery in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, where I lived for 11 years before moving to Argentina in 1997. I have had numerous individual art shows in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and have participated in many collective exhibitions and art fairs. My artwork is found in private collections in the United States, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Chile, Peru and Uruguay. I define my work as chromatic geometry, a trajectory I have followed relentlessly since 1991. I was awarded a Pollock-Krasner foundation grant for the year 2013. I received the 2012 Arte Espacio prize in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Artistic statement: My visual language is within the realm of geometric abstraction, expressly chromatic geometry. I find this to be the perfect milieu in which I can work with simple forms, without distractions, and in which I can experiment with the pictorial elements that inspire me the most: color, texture, pattern and movement. I have been inspired by indigenous textiles, especially from Guatemala, a place I have visited often. In my paintings and watercolors I strive to create a kind of visual and musical poetry of color and movement. I like to call this poetry of color "coloreography" because it combines, precisely, color and choreography.
