About the Item
Artist Comments
"This painting has traveled with me through six moves and four cities," shares artist Agata Kijanka. "It's a very slowly transforming piece that evolved over twelve years. I added various textures using molding paste squeezed through fine metal sheeting, flower-shaped collage elements embedded in paint, scratches, and more. It wasn't until I started applying and removing oil and cold wax to what would eventually blossom into this colorful, uninhibited, and dramatic piece, that this painting started to quickly find its destined form."
About the Artist
Artist Agata Kijanka creates sensually textured abstract paintings. Working from visual and emotional memory and imagination, Agata builds each artwork in layers - applying paint with scrapers and brayers, transferring paint from other surfaces, and removing paint with solvent and blades. One of the defining moments for Agata as an artist was when she moved alone to Santa Fe from Seattle in 2008. As she explains, it was "a beautiful place that I love with its rich art related history, plentiful galleries, and inspiring landscapes. I anticipated staying for 6 months but I ended up staying for 4 years." She continued her artistic journey to Sedona, AZ and now lives in Albuquerque where she works from her home studio. Putting down roots in the southwest has influenced Agata's work, especially time in the desert, the sunshine and open skies. When she's not painting, Agata enjoys cooking, gardening in her desert yard, and talking endlessly to her rescue dog.

- The Traveler, Abstract PaintingBy Patrick O'BoyleLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
"I've always been fascinated by what people see in my paintings," says artist Patrick O'Boyle. He displays an implication of a man traveling the deep void of brilliant hues. Part of his series of colorful abstracts with hints of recognizable subject matter that leaves the viewer room to explore. He combines techniques of collage and painting to unfold a dreamy and entertaining narrative.About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.Words that describe this painting: abstract, colorful, bright, texture, mixed media, mark-making, collage, people, abstract, people, mixed media artwork, purple
