Artist Comments
Energy reshapes and merges with surrounding matter, forming new patterns over time. Like the rings of a tree, the layers of artist Jason Astorquia’s abstract painting mark a history of transformation and resilience. He uses trowels and thick acrylic paint to emulate the organic growth and tension between industry and nature. The process of layering and removing paint mirrors the way nature absorbs and adapts to external forces. Jason emphasizes that transformation and preservation must endure, reflecting nature’s ability to integrate change without losing its essence.

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.
