About this artwork

My page was a perfect fit for me. I was inspired by the flow and patterns of the rows of letters that added wonderful details to the colors and shapes coming to life. The pencil marker letters helped to create the skeleton of the composition. But Just like when we read a poem or story, the individual letters begin to fade, our mind transforms them into ideas and emotions. It is what I try to do with colors, lines, shapes and patterns. There are many layers in this abstraction and they help to create some depth. Colors and shapes are what we first see but the longer you look, the more details come into view, a use of lines and rows of repeating letters.
The more I looked at the finished page, I began to see Algae flowing at the bottom. Living in blue water with oxygen bubbles and the sun above supplying the energy for the photosynthesis.

About Pia

I am fascinated by the effects of colour combinations, lines, Shapes, patterns. I feel a sense of freedom and joy when I am painting abstracts.
I often paint over finished work, acrylics on canvas, sometimes adding markers and pencil. Everything seems to be a journey, I am reminded of the subatomic world, the galaxies, creation, endless Stories and layers.
My favorite topics are things or situations of everyday life; flowers, food, animals, portraits. I illustrate with a strong use of line and I like to tell a story with my characters and the details of the room. I also create large cement sculptures, usually colorful animals with a grin and a good heart.
I am aware of the privileged life I lead and it is this everyday life of mine that I am thankful for and celebrate. I try to see the positive side of things and I like to laugh. I hope my art is enjoyed, that it can bring a smile or brighten someone’s day.
