About the Item

This is a beautiful Ink on Mylar by Alexis Portilla, unframed. Hematite is a mineral and is the most important component of iron. In nature, it has a beautiful metallic lustre and symbolically, is a grounding and balancing stone. Hematite 20.75 x 16.25 in. Ink and Mylar mounted on acid free mat board Unframed Framing available May be paired with other Ink on Mylars as illustrated. The artist Alexis Portilla obtained his Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts. “Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.” - Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review. Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture. The artist has shown in group and solo exhibitions nationally for more than 20 years. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections.
