Dorothy Gaziano

In the Distance, Abstract Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Artist Dorothy Gaziano uses a combination of oil paint and cold wax to portray an abstract landscape. Dark streaks at the center suggest towering trees, visually separating the grassy field below from the cloudy sky above. The limited color palette and gentle mark-making add to the atmospheric quality of the scene.

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.
