“In my acrylic paintings, I use interference, metallics, and other techniques and devices that cause some of the colors to change and light to favor certain sections more or less, depending on how you look at them. In some pieces, the entire composition shifts. Your approach to the work changes how you experience it. Of course, this makes my acrylics impossible to capture in a photograph. I believe that they look a billion times better in person, though I may be biased.”
–Roberto Bloom
Acrylics
- Fingerpainting, sometimes with tools
- Strange mediums for various effects
- Layered until ‘done’
- “The painting tells me who it is”
Watercolors
- “Stream of trance”
- Brushes, fingerpainting, odd tools
- Mostly wet on wet
All My Paintings
- Color games and rhythms
- Painted by candlelight (usually)
- Composition pokes viewers’ subconscious-es
- Are named after things that tickle my imagination
If you find yourself overwhelmed with an urge to buy a painting, please take a moment to follow me on Instagram and then commence stalking me. If the piece you like is available, I will let you know. If it has already sold, you can commission something with a similar vibe in similar colors. Or, if you hate Instagram enough to never use it, you can try the Contact form on the Arts page.
