ABOUT THE ARTIST

Artist Patty Vega makes paintings that capture light, movement and emotion.  Her art attempts to harness the essence of life force by using color, form and composition. The work vibrates with a mysterious consciousness that captures our elemental humanity.

Her paintings are composed of layers of images and brushstrokes through the use of digital tools.  Those layers are then printed on a variety of materials such as aluminum, acrylic, mylar, linen, paper and other materials.

At first glance, Vega uses bright colors and repeating patterns and graphic images to form an overlay of complex and elemental patterns and compositions. The energy of the work invites the viewer into a slowly unfurling narrative of the very meaning of human consciousness and the complexity of civilization.
