Bio: Paul Tambellini currently creates his art in Silver Spring, Maryland. In one form or another, he had always been involved in the creative arts such as music, painting, writing and drawing. But eventually, Paul decided to concentrate his efforts on the visual arts. Even though he was mostly self-taught, Paul took lessons and workshops with several local and internationally known artists which helped him to hone his own style. He has been influenced by Hopper and Diebenkorn. Paul’s work has been included in several magazines and in solo, small group, local, national and international exhibitions and is also in private and corporate collections.
Statement: I want to explore the effects of light, shadow, and color on the landscape, urban or pastoral, and how they affect the mood and perception of human consciousness. In my paintings, people are often enveloped in a panoramic palette of reflection and light as they are moving into or observing an environment. Color also plays an important part in my process in that all things whether animate or inanimate are forever in motion because light and shadow are constantly breaking up into different colors in each different moment. At the same time, I want to show the beauty and awe of the urban or suburban environment by displaying the colors and intricacies of light and shadow.
