Mixed Media Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, Expressionism, “Breaking Free” by Contemporary Artist Tracy Lupanow

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others" Nelson Mandela

Creating this mixed media abstract painting was a difficult task for me. I started it in the dead of winter and I have SAD (seasonal affective disorder) which makes me feel trapped physically and emotionally. I become very depressed when the the skies are dark and grey. As I continued painting it started to become a cathartic experience for me. I felt an emotional freedom taking over as the heaviness of the winter lifted.

Mixed Media,Collage, Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, Expressionism, “ Someone To Watch Over Me" by Contemporary Artist Tracy Lupanow

"Of course you don't die. Nobody dies. Death doesn't exist. You only reach a new level of vision, a new realm of consciousness, a new unknown world."
- Henry Miller

 I was visiting Denver,and while walking down an alleyway, I saw her beautiful face on a deteriorating old poster. The solemn and longing look in her eyes drew me in and I snapped a photo. It is very comforting to me to believe that our loved ones who have passed are watching over us. 

Painted with acrylic, oil pastel, ink stick and copies of my b&w photos. On a wood cradle board.

Mixed Media Cityscape, Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, Expressionism, “5 Alarm” by Contemporary Artist Tracy Lupanow

"I personally will never forget that people are more important than buildings." 
- Harvey Milk

The graffiti in this painting resides on the building across the alley from where I live. I became curious seeing it daily. What does it mean? Who painted it? Why did the artist decide to climb down the fire escape from the roof to paint it? I took a photo of it as I usually do with things that interest me. I knew it would become part of a future painting.

Then an incredible thing happened! While my painting was on display at an art festival, I noticed two young men spending a lot of time studying it. Of course, I needed to find out what it was that caught their attention. As I approached, one of them turned to me and asked, "Do you know what this is?" I replied, "It's graffiti on the building across from my condo." He said, "No, it is much more than that. It was painted by a graffiti artist as a memorial for another graffiti artist who passed away in a motorcycle accident."

Wow, all the questions I had about the graffiti were answered!! Now when I look out my window and see that beautiful writing, I can feel the admiration and love from one artist to another.

Painted with acrylic, oil pastel, ink pencil and copies of my b&w photos. Mounted and framed in a beautiful black floater frame.
