'TRILOGY'
Dimension: 36'' x48''
Certification of Authenticity: Apricus Art Collection
Signature: Signed by Artist
Waski has utilized a variety of textures within the work, ranging from thick, impasto layers that add physical dimension to the piece, to more delicate, almost translucent areas that seem to glow with an internal light. The composition is largely symmetrical and appears to be organized around three main forms or centers of energy, which could correlate with the title "Trilogy."
These forms intermingle with their surroundings, creating a sense of depth and complexity. There are sweeping gestures and lines that cut across the canvas, suggesting movement and chaos. The use of white and lighter colors provides contrast, highlighting the drama of the overall composition.
The artwork lacks distinct figurative elements, inviting viewers to project their own images and emotions onto the canvas, thus engaging in a personal dialogue with the piece. The abstract nature of "Trilogy" allows for multiple interpretations, from the apocalyptic to the sublime, reflecting the myriad of human experiences and emotions.

Artists Statement: “My artistic vision taps into the raw emotion of the human experience, defining the spiritual, naturally occurring and man-made forces that surround us. Drawing upon the combinations of these elements creates solid narrative to express my unique interpretation of life today. I derive inspiration from various forms of mythology, observing people and nature, which is used as a catalyst in developing a body of work. The art attempts to capture a state of being by fusing abstract and representational elements together for a new visual language. Overlaying multiple forms and color I want to create a visual stratigraphic exploration of the subject matter, by building surfaces and layers to expose a sense of time and multi dimensional narratives. Having this dialogue offers a unique commentary exposing the venerability of our relationships with each other and the environment, attempting to achieve a balance of ambiguity and tension within the space that captures a fleeting moment in time. These components of the work manifest through the exploration of evolution and change. With the utilization of selective icons, textures and the human form, I share my perceptive awareness through my art.”
