PETER RAMON
My paintings are abstract, informed by nature, comprised of memory, sideways glances, fleeting thoughts... and unrelated meanderings.
Like most artists I draw upon life experience, nature and the world around me.
The tools I use, the approaches I take, have mostly to do with how I interpret those things at that particular time.
It is my intention to create visually interesting works, that hold attention and continue to reveal themselves over time. Paintings that evolve intelligently and hopefully have some lasting effect on the viewer through shape and color, tensions and relationships.
