Artist Comments

This rendition of the hardest material on earth appears quite dramatic when reflecting and set against a black background. These initial paintings of the Diamond, while appearing somewhat literal, are hoped to bring you into the detailed nuances and beauty of the gem itself and the artwork. I introduce some iridescent acrylics which, when viewed from a different angle, tend to alter elements of the work, making the subject change and come alive not unlike the nature of the actual Diamond and in fact Life itself.

 

 

Overall, the painting is visually striking and engaging. The use of color and composition creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the painting. The abstract nature of the diamond adds an element of intrigue, inviting the viewer to interpret the meaning behind the artwork.

 

 

The color palette is vibrant and diverse, featuring a range of blues, greens, yellows, oranges, pinks, and purples. The colors are applied in bold brushstrokes, creating a dynamic and energetic effect.  

 

 

The technique used in this painting appears to be a mix of abstract expressionism and cubism. The artist has broken down the diamond into geometric shapes and reassembled them in a way that creates a sense of movement and energy.
