ARTIST STATEMENT

Pia P Reynaldo

 

To express an idea or concept through art, one must have the ability to actualize that thought.

 

The current state of the world is at my front door. To walk through that gateway, knowledge absorbs me and changes my approach to my paintings. Inspiration and ideas are in constant flow, widening knowledge and giving space to create in all types of medium.

 

Every time I paint, I begin a journey connecting a past to where I’ve come from, in hopes to answer questions about life. Although answers may not arrive, the extension from whatever tool I use to canvas is where images, shapes, and color tell the story, bringing together the present and perhaps guiding me in to the future.

 

My abstract paintings are rooted in the movement of mark making and applying layers of paint: building one upon the other. Imparting emotion, thought, and depth of character to the viewer.
