Mixed Media/Painting
By Marisa Aceves
I have always been fascinated by the way The Lord God Almighty orders the universe and the natural world he created for his glory. It is proof to all of humanity that he exists and is there for us. The textures, shapes, and colors of the world God made from the microscopic to the planetary bodies in the universe are a constant source of inspiration for the organic shapes, textures, and colors in my abstract mixed media work. In this particular series, I wanted to create the sense that I could reach out and touch the inside of a cell, a single-celled animal, or any of the microscopic world that we might see if we looked under a microscope. I also like to experiment with the different materials when creating this unique work in attempt to push a certain material to its limits.
