Stephanie Aguilar Art
About
My artwork is full of push and pull. I paint figurative subjects, mostly birds and animals, against abstracted backgrounds. I also enjoy playing with natural beauty set against ideas of man-made beauty - birds wearing couture headpieces or a longhorn standing in front of a wall-papered backdrop. When painting with oil paints I like to soften and add light to my paintings by using rags to wipe off almost as much paint as I apply. With my acrylic paintings I mix colors directly on the canvas and let these swirling patterns drive my pallet. Color is always a large part of my work - I am constantly experimenting. Loose brushstrokes are also important, I use those to convey movement and joy. My process is an exercise in frustration and a source of great satisfaction - I can’t imagine it any other way.
