Unbounded Ecstacy #2
Acrylic on canvas
36" x 60"
"Unbounded Ecstacy#2" is an explosion of vibrant colors and textures, spontaneously applied, expressing the ecstacy obtained through unbounded creation.
" I usually begin a new painting with random brush strokes of color," said Jonas. "then work unpredictably and intuitively, responding to the rhythm of the music and the direction the painting suggests to me. My most recent work is about the thrill of exploring and experimenting with a variety of methods of applying acrylic color on raw canvas, taking big risks and looking for new combinations that I've never done before. What excites my interest is...to 'see what would happen if...'"
"For me, painting is like an intense compulsion motivated by the love of process itself, allowing me to become more comfortable with uncertainty and unpredictability which opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
