Kara Maria
Kara Maria, Cannon Ball, 18\" x 18\", acrylic on canvas, 2010
My work fuses abstraction and representation. The pieces usually begin as abstractions, but as they progress I add in figures. For me, the figures are analogous to nouns in a sentence. The rest of the painting seems like a swirl of verbs and adjectives, and the noun anchors the image. A wide variety of issues - from environmental crisis to international politics and war - influence my art making. I hope the work communicates a sense of humor and playfulness as well as an engagement with the state of the world we live in today. Although many issues are referenced in the work, the work itself remains non-linear, seeking to raise questions rather than to give answers.
