Lost My Way, Abstract Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Pieces of maps from an old atlas weave into the composition, symbolizing the search for clarity and purpose. The result is a fragmented cityscape filled with doubt, movement, and the quiet promise of a new beginning. Artist Tim Engelhardt wrestled with this painting through multiple revisions, laying down color, painting over it, and repeating the process several times.

About the Artist
Artist Tim Engelhardt creates abstract compositions that explore the complexities of the human psyche. He uses color and structure to explore his feelings while grounding each piece in the reality of who he is in the moment of creation. “Much of my work starts from a yearning to understand existence and relationship,” says Tim. Though he has never had formal mentorship, Tim has built his path through persistence, the support of his wife, and a strong artistic community. Based in Pittsburgh, Tim paints at a 260-square-foot studio in a converted Westinghouse factory. When he’s not making art or working full-time at a bank, Tim enjoys spending time with his family, tending his yard, and watching musical theater.
