Egyptian Ruins – mixed media abstract art

by TracyLeave a Comment on Egyptian Ruins – mixed media abstract art

If you know me, you know that I have a love for Egypt.  I have a love for ancient history and Egypt is, by far, the epitome of all things ancient.  As with most of my paintings, they begin with a base, layers and layers of vintage papers.  These papers not only add massive texture to the piece, but implant ‘history’, to an otherwise new work of art.

I am a frequent shopper of antique stores and on one of my outings, I came across a massive, vintage book on Egypt.  To most, this book would be an awesome display piece on their coffee table but to me…uh, I like to re-purpose things, so I ripped out some pages and embedded them into my new painting…

Egyptian Ruins is available for purchase at my Etsy store.3

I’m beginning to think that red is my color of choice!  No doubt, my past few paintings have been heavily focused on red. This smaller piece (16″ x 20″) was created using vintage papers and acrylics on gallery canvas.  Available for purchase on Etsy.

I always use words/vintage book pages as the foundation of my art – often times, covering up most of the words with paint.  To me, life’s message is most present in the abstraction, absence of words. These abstractions are my guide to seeing, understanding and living life. This is my art.
