Color swatches in small acrylic paintings
6/12/20241 min read
For some time now, I have been carrying out color studies with these small paintings and they have gradually become a series that now has its own character.
These color tests look for a chromatic balance that is fine for me. I decide this as the days go by, with continuous work and constant observation of that small painting-test-of-color (since these are always visible in the studio).
Now, I want to talk about their construction: they arise from the decisions that are made in the moments of dispersed observation in the studio, and many times, from the coincidences of the moment (for example, sometimes a painting is concluded with the remains of the palette of another painting in progress).
Thus, diverse decisions and coincidences build these artist’s studies, which demonstrate a range of colors that interest me and of which achieve the perfect chromatic balance (according to the standards in my head).
