The Back Story

Under the Brooklyn Bridge

Celebrate New York City's famous Brooklyn Bridge at dusk in an array of colors.

This painting was inspired by a photo I took just after I had crossed the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The view across the East River looking over to Manhattan and at the bridge is impeccable. As a new resident of the city I greatly admire these views reflected over water. For this scene I had a vision to use thicker dabs of paint to depict a very painterly feel. I love how the scene itself is so dark, casting just shadows and silhouettes of the architecture, and then all of the lights glimmer in a unique colorful way. This creation to me is a celebration of New York in its colorful diverse glory under one of its most iconic tourist attractions.

About

Living in New York City as a graduated art student, I am constantly around such an effervescent environment. This which appears throughout my expressive oil painting artwork. My mission in my art, is to captivate the viewers mind and eye through vibrant colors, brushwork, blending, and style. My concepts come emerge deep within me, as I always try to evoke something that is worth noting. My subject matter is mainly surrounding positivity, the inner self, locations which influence the viewer, and many other changing theories. To inspire, and teach others with the magical mediums of 2-D art making is my chosen journey I was born for. I believe everyone has an artistic sense, and I want to bring it out within them through my arts visual and symbolic messages.

The Process

Having taken this reference photo myself I am more tied to this painting. It was from a personal memory, and I wish to bring the viewer inside the scene with me using painting. I learned I can portray any aura, emotion, or energy through a 2-D image using paint. I wanted to add a layer of glossy varnish over top as well, not only to protect it, but to add to its sparkling beauty.
