Patti Vrobel
My work while representational is a journey to simplify form to its basic planes of color and value. I am interested in taking on the challenge of saying the most by showing the least and doing it in a way that gives the subject energy. I typically paint with larger brushes and I like to use the energy of the stroke to achieve a bolder statement but also in some instances to use its texture and direction to provide patterns or contrast to showcase a point of interest. People who like my work tend to enjoy the boldness of color choices that I use and tend to pick up on the energy even though it may be somewhat intangible. Most recently, my focus has been scenes from the outdoors but I don't hold myself to any particular subject. My intention as an artist is to reflect the times in which I live and share the learnings of my experiences.
