About the Item
This contemporary abstract painting by Julia Contacessi features light, washy layers of blue tones through the middle of the canvas, with lighter, textured layers on either side, Overtop the middle blue area, the artist has added a metallic gold accent cascading down, creating an elegant aesthetic. "Open to a world of possibilities," the artist says, "'Awakening' explores the contrasting nature of the organic and how that can provide an escape to a dream-like place, traveling from the sea and sky to explore the melding of worlds." The painting is signed on the back of the canvas. The artist also likes this painting horizontal so the canvas is wired both ways and ready to hang.
Connecticut-based artist Julia Contacessi earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pratt Institute in New York City in 2000. Over the years, her eye for composition coupled with her love of painting, design, and photography has earned Julia numerous awards in such publications as Photographer's Forum and Creativity along with inclusion into the Yale Robert B. Haas Family Arts Library Special Collections (ALSC) in New Haven, CT.
Julia never strayed far from texture, paint and the mixing and layering of mediums, which are important components to her work. In fact, Julia's most recent abstracts focus on deconstructing painted color palette studies through isolated images, and then rebuilding those studies with new form and composition.
Julia spends most weekends tackling new projects and getting into all sorts of adventures with her son, Neo. She loves painting and photography, the occasional 5-mile run and feisty discussions across the family dinner table on Sunday evenings.
"When you layer on the paint just right, so that it dances across a wash of another color, a new level of dimension is created," Julia says of her work. "Combine that dimension with the exploration of color and I’ve just begun to captured something meaningful. My style is single-minded and focused on the simplicity of beauty in the moment. My goal is to drown out the noise and clutter to find a sense of calm through light. The end result is clean, fresh and modern."
