Artist Statement -



Acevedo: Abstract Expressionist Artist
Art for me is life. It makes me vibrate and makes my heart beat. I am thrilled that you are interested in my artwork. It is sufficient reward form me to have someone look at one of my pieces and somehow be touched by it. I paint from my soul and that is wy, maybe, some of my pieces are hard to interpret. Perhaps that is the way it should be. They might mean something to me, but the vibe that people feel when they stare at them might as well be different. I guess that we can call it individualism.
My favorite mediums are acrylics, watercolors and mixed media. Feel free to explore my world at http://acevedostudio.tripod.com/.
