Dorothy Gaziano
The Calm Before the Storm, Abstract Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
In this abstract piece, artist Dorothy Gaziano has created a scene resembling a large body of water. She incorporates light blues and whites to indicate a cloudy sky, while darker blues and greys depict a turbulent sea. The soft colors and paint application evoke a mesmerizing sense of tranquility amidst the movement.


About the Artist
Artist Dorothy Gaziano depicts abstract sceneries with acrylics, oil pigments, and cold wax. Her process involves applying thin layers of paint, adding and scraping away to reveal the layers beneath. Working without a set plan, she lets each piece evolve naturally. “I never know how a piece will turn out; I work until the physical piece feels like the emotional idea I saw in my mind,” says Dorothy. Her art draws inspiration from the natural world. Dorothy divides her time between a compact studio in Florida and a more expansive workspace in South Carolina, where she listens to music while painting. Outside of her creative hobbies, Dorothy enjoys walking, biking, and caring for her air plants.
