Dorothy Gaziano
Liquid Matter, Abstract Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Bright, vibrant colors create a dreamlike abstract composition. Primarily painted in soothing blues and greens, the piece features splashes of red that catch the eye. Artist Dorothy Gaziano uses a combination of oil and cold wax, adding texture by scraping the surface to reveal layers beneath.


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.
