About the Item
Artist Comments
"'Gathering' was inspired by the works of Aron Wiesenfeld, and features a woman who is drawn in such a way where one cannot tell if she is a young girl or a grown woman," explains artist Naoko Paluszak. "The inclusion of hummingbirds adds to the surreal and magical atmosphere surrounding the female subject. Plus, hummingbirds attract people!" The sharp detail and shading of the girl's face contrast with her surroundings, creating a dreamlike feeling.
About the Artist
Naoko Paluszak began her career by studying graphic design in Tokyo, followed by several years working as a designer, before switching to oil painting. Now located in the United States, Naoko continues to develop her style through different series of paintings that have varying degrees of abstraction. By bridging representational with non-representational forms, the artist seeks to stir personal memories and spark new narratives. “Art is about having a sense of mystery and drama,” she says. Naoko is also passionate about color. She mixes her paints based on the intuitive emotions that different colors can trigger within the viewer, and within herself.
