Annette Back

I create abstract or figurative paintings that tell a story and connect with people’s emotions. My interpretations of nature, shapes and figures are often achieved by transferring photos and text on a first layer, then painting over that with layers upon layers of transparent or opaque colors, lines, geometric shapes, textures, patterns, and shades. I use many different techniques and interesting color combinations to achieve my vision. Inspirations and ideas come from everything around me. Sometimes nature or a transition in a video will spark an idea, sometimes and old photograph - the face of a child or raindrops. My work is a continuation of my personal growth, I am never afraid to explore and experiment. I have a bold, colorful approach that flows onto the canvas.
