Victor Mirabelli’s latest body of work THROUGH LAYERS captures a lighter, more spirited approach to painting. More than just a technique, his objective is to use color to represent the visual aspects of a specific structure or scape, while maintaining the emotional integrity that accompanies that experience. The palette is brighter, colorful and intriguing. Mirabelli does not shy away from using a vivid color scheme alongside earth tones with smokey undertones. Images are created by layering color—resulting in a matte or translucent effect. His shapes are cleaner, more classic. The artist’s use of subtle brushwork and the scraping of paint invites the viewer inside Mirabelli’s picture story. “I have to become that structure and feel the life that lived there.”
