Artist Statement for Jeff Cabral

Artist Statement
Although it only made sense to him a few years ago, Jeff Cabral had been cultivating the eye and mind of a painter since childhood. "Suddenly all of the commercial artwork and projects done with teams of creative people just was not enough of an outlet for my creative visions. I paint for mostly selfish reasons I just wanted my work to be totally my own not a compromise and I love it."
Emerging artist Jeff Cabral’s recent work has been created as a way of exploring different and often conflicting emotions. Most of the images are based on a theme and a need to have a connection with something greater, a glimpse of hope amidst emotional turmoil. His paintings attempt to reveal the “extraordinary” nature of different colour palates and the movement expressed through his painting techniques, giving his work meaning.
For instance, the painting, Winds of Colour, depicts an abstract almost shimmering impression of a landscape that is full of energy and yet also has a stillness conveyed by the stylized wisps of trees along the bottom . “In this painting I captured the feeling of an abstract sky exploding with color and the awe of having witnessed something beautiful” He also has a self confessed 'obsession' with faces and figurative subject matter which he has explored in his new collection of paintings.
