Artist Comments
The abstract composition depicts a large glacier melting into the water below. The use of brown suggests a land behind the thinning ice, while the blue hints at an unseen sky. Artist Jason Astorquia used trowels and thick layers of paint to create the piece, applying a balance between tension and timing to explore climate change.
About the Artist
Artist Jason Astorquia’s abstract paintings reflect a blend of intuition and emotion, inviting the viewer into layered compositions that capture fleeting moments. “I trust my intuition to convey feelings—whether it’s the past dissolving into the present or a vivid moment frozen in time,†shares Jason. He began painting in 2007 after the birth of his daughter, drawing inspiration from his wife’s studio and immediately falling in love with painting. With a background in applied mathematics from Yale, Jason initially worked in technology and business but found himself drawn to creative pursuits. Working from his garage studio, he explores themes of nature, family, and sustainable living. As a family man, Jason enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, hiking, writing, and exploring ideas that tune him into living more sustainably.

Artist Jason Astorquia presents a dynamic abstraction of colors in nature. Golden sunlight, white and cream aether, merge in dimensions of stone in soft orange, beige browns, and deep umbers. Linear dimensions overlap with the spectral hues resulting in a sharp and expressive display. Jason brings elements together with trowels on large surfaces with thick layers of earthen texture to create a focused echo of ancient memory.
About the Artist
Jason Astorquia recognizes that money is important to the way we think, act, and relate to one another. His “Impressions†series is made up of abstract paintings that are created using the impressions of pennies.

Artist Jason Astorquia presents an abstract snowscape in a cascade of lineated colors. "Ice is melting in ethereal whites as the subdued blue and green earth slowly hints at the lively state of Spring," says Jason. The bright turquoise hues emerge from the pensive dark shades of winter. Jason works with layers of color and texture, honing in on the mood of this transitional time inside and out.
