About the Item

Desertscape #5, Original Contemporary Abstract Expressionist Landscape Painting, 2022 14" x 17" (HxW) Acrylic on Paper Hand-signed and dated by the artist. This abstract expressionist work by artist Simona Gocan is caught between a depiction of the American Southwest landscapes and a full abstraction. I imagine this composition is similar to what would result if you asked Mark Rothko and Cy Twombly to collaborate on a composition featuring the desert. Large washes of rich earth tone colors are broken up by a scribbling effect, alluding to grasses obscuring the view of the desert horizon. Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed. Artist Commentary: "Desertscape #5" is part of a series of abstract landscapes created in 2022. Nature has always been my main point of reference. I paint from memory, I'm more interested in creating the atmosphere and the emotion I felt when I was in a specific place. 14x17 in/each, original acrylic on paper, signed on the front, unframed. About the Artist: Simona is a Romanian-American artist currently living in Arizona. She received her BFA with honors (1997) from the University of Arts and Design, Cluj, Romania, where she majored in Fine Art Photography. She continued her studies as a recipient of a scholarship for studies in set, costumes and lighting design, at Teatro alla Scala, Milan, Italy (1999-2001). She has exhibited in numerous solo and group shows in Romania, Italy, Chile and the U.S. After living in Europe, the Middle East and South America, Simona moved to Arizona in December of 2015. Her work includes paintings, drawings, ceramics and textiles. She finds inspiration in nature, which she reconstructs either by memory or by combining pictures she takes in her travels. She is also influenced by minimalist sculpture, land art, architecture and design.
