Artist Statement for Robert G. Rivera
|
|
|
My paintings are:
lush in color and sensitive of theme,
bold in spirit and strong in design,
mostly abstract, but sometimes I wander,
but never far from what comes easily to me.
And that is leaving my personal expression
on canvas, my star on the wall.
______
My paintings are like expressive tapestries of what I see and experience in the world around me. The depiction of whatever subject I paint always goes beyond the literal, onto a personal and imaginative interpretation. This result I hope, is the final expression of my "minds eye", my subconscious mind coming out, free flowing. Attaining this state is not always easy for an artist, but when it is reached, I believe creativity is at its best.
Each of my paintings undergoes a creative process which has taken much time, thought and work. This process of putting a personal statement on a blank canvas is a challenge that I welcome. Through this process, I have kept the viewer in mind and it is my wish that he will become a collaborative partner in the appreciation of art.
