Graphite, Oil on Wood - Pale Fire I (New York, Abstract Expressionist)
By Alexis Portilla
Located in Los Angeles, CA

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 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 as well as small delicate pieces made with layering of oil and beeswax (Pale...
