About Yellow No 22

A painterly canary yellow orthogonal floats on an energetic ground of charcoal with indigo highlights in this bold canvas. Artist Ivo Stoyanov combines acrylic paint, marble dust, pigments and wax in layers that he polishes into a rich satin finish. His paintings have a fresco-like quality, the taut surface of the canvas polished to a fine smooth finish. The work has a very clean edge and does not require framing.

"My paintings are meditative works, created through the layers of various colors and textures - like the layers of leaves on a woodland floor, each leaf adding a new level to my understanding of nature. I wish to bring this awareness to my audience and to create opportunities for dialogue." Ivo Stoyanov
