About the Item
This artist is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner grant awarded to artists with established abilities, established by the wife of Jackson Pollock. We love the work of this artist because his work bring color, vibrancy yet harmony and balance from use of symmetry or from composition of shapes and colors. The many underlayers of colors and brushwork explore depth and emotion to each unique piece. His work draws on geometric shapes, architectural constructs, that are harmonized with each other. His pieces are either a playful, tasteful interplay of colors or quiet, contemplative monochromatics.
ABOUT PAINTING:
This is a beautiful, dark, moody, strong piece that somehow manages to be quite meditative with its quietness - with its multi-layers of deep blue colors, such that it changes slightly depending on how the light hits it. Video attached for viewing.

Drawing from the architectural origins of his past work, this series of abstract oil paintings contemplate geometric spaces and their relationships to each other. Using oil paint, wax medium, and marble dust on canvas, the artist creates a harmonious balance on the canvas, characterized by textured shades of colors, with linear lines and shapes - allowing a meditative composition of shapes and colors to emerge.
The artist is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner grant awarded to artists with established abilities, established by the wife of Jackson Pollock. His work is held in various corporate and private collections worldwide.

View All7.5 x 6.6 ft - Court of the Red King - Oil on canvas Abstract Expressionist
By Alexis Portilla
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is a large, vibrant, colorful and strong abstract expressionist oil painting on canvas that is full of life and vigor.
Painting subject to availability and 1stdibs buyer protected purchase and shipping with returns subject to terms.
The artist, Alexis Portilla, shows that his artistic virtuosity ranges from the strong and bold and big to the fragile, vulnerable small exquisite pieces in beeswax and oil (Pale Fire).
Alexis Portilla obtained his Master's of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts.
“Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.” Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review.
Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture.
We showcase this talented mid career artist's sheer virtuosity both in style and use of varied medium which is apparent in his works in which he paints large oil abstracts...

48 x 104 in. / 4 x 8.6 ft (2 panels) "Chromatic Fantasy" Large Oil on Linen
By Alexis Portilla
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This is a beautiful, abstract expressionist oil painting on linen by Alexis Portilla. This piece is in 2 panels.
He obtained his Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University in 1990. His bold linear lines, use of symbols, pictographs and strong colors create atmospheric abstracts. Influenced by the emotion of artistic expression in music, poetry and literature, the artist finds bold expression in color, lines and shapes that resemble pictographs, and texture.
“Using simple forms and creating swathes of rich texture, Alexis Portilla builds atmospheric abstract paintings that convey a sense of time having passed. Brushy areas of color suggest the indeterminacy of memory, while bold linear forms speak for the present.” “In some of his smaller works, Portilla experimented with beeswax. Applying a smooth coat of wax over the surface, the artist sealed in his sparse, abstract forms, while leaving whole sections empty, the images hover in the wax, as if frozen in time, yet the pieces have a fresh, almost dewy look.”
- Meredith Mendelsohn, Art News magazine review.
The artist has shown in group and solo exhibitions both nationally and internationally. His works have been commissioned by major corporations, universities and for private collections.
