​MEET JORGE

As an abstract artist I draw inspiration from life and nature. Texture and mixed media are incorporated into my work creating an array of designs throughout the composition.
​
My background in architecture influences the design, color and repetitive shapes I create. Markings and other designs are added throughout the process, at times appearing and disappearing through the application of paint. I greatly admire Helen Frankenthaler, Willem De Kooning, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock.

I start with a primary design just as a guide, but mainly my inspiration will come from a word, feeling or other influences happening throughout the world. Social causes seem to influence my work currently and I enjoy creating series with one topic. This process enables me to have a body of work under one title supported with other pieces in the collection.

I am mainly self-taught with some formal training. I continually read up on art movements and applications that other artists have used and that aid me in creating my own techniques.
