Greg Sinibaldi

As a mixed media artist, I find inspiration and liberation in the act of creation, akin to the freedom I experience in my musical process. My work, characterized by the fusion of acrylic painting and collage techniques, falls under the category of figurative abstraction. This amalgamation allows me to explore the vast spectrum of emotions and themes, reflecting my desire to evoke personal interpretations and connections from the viewer.

Recurring themes in my art include self-portraits, faces peering into the world, and reflections on current events. I am particularly drawn to conveying specific emotions, such as fear, while also employing codes and ciphers. My intention is to provide viewers with the space to craft their narratives, encouraging an individualized experience rather than imposing a predetermined meaning.

The heart of my artistic philosophy lies in the process of creation. I begin by painting colors onto cardboard, often salvaged from the abundant supply found in the streets of NYC. The improvisational nature of my work emerges as figures and ideas gradually materialize through the layers of paint. This organic development prompts me to integrate collage techniques, further unveiling the hidden concepts that surface during the creative process.

Deeply rooted in improvisation, my art draws inspiration from my musical life. As I am primarily a musician, I integrate concepts from improvisational music into my visual work, creating a dynamic interplay between the two art forms.

In my connection with the audience, I seek to provide just enough visual information for viewers to construct their own narratives. Rather than prescribing a specific interpretation, I aspire to facilitate a diverse range of experiences, allowing each observer to engage with the art on a personal level.

Despite having exhibited only once thus far, my aspiration is to share my work more widely. I am eager to expand the dialogue around my creations, inviting others to join the exploration of emotions, themes, and the boundless possibilities inherent in the intersection of mixed media and musical improvisation.
