Measuring 28 x 22 inches, this acrylic on canvas work is a striking blend of monochromatic intensity with icy undertones, perfect for collectors seeking contemporary expressionist art with a bold edge.

Los Angeles artist Marc Raphael captivates with his abstract expressionist paintings influenced by New York's abstract expressionist movement. After encountering Jackson Pollock’s work for the first time in the 90s, Raphael was enraptured by the scale, energy, color, and abstraction, awakening his creative spirit. Raphael’s painting technique combines the movement of his body, the viscous flow of paint, the force of gravity, and the absorption of paint into the canvas in a mixture of controllable and uncontrollable factors.

This original artwork by Raphael measures 28 inches tall by 22 inches wide and was created with acrylic paint on canvas. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front, and the artwork comes ready to hang with no framing necessary. The artist's signature and title adorn the back. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity from the art gallery is included.



Raphael, a former K-12 teacher turned full-time painter, explores the depths of acrylic and latex paints, bringing unconscious thoughts to life through imaginative freedom. His process involves applying intuitive marks on raw canvas, allowing the painting to evolve naturally. With a balance of control and spontaneity, Raphael's creations evoke the spirit of jazz improvisation.

In "Winter Blue", Raphael builds a complex network of energetic lines, splatters, and loops in black, white, and muted earth tones. Icy hints of slate blue and pale silver punctuate the chaos, evoking the crisp chill of winter air. The layering of paint, applied in controlled chaos, suggests movement and spontaneity while maintaining visual harmony.

There’s a meditative quality to the intricacy of Winter Blue, much like watching snowfall in a bustling city. Beneath the storm of linework lies a quiet sophistication, like trying to hear the wind between skyscrapers. It’s a visual representation of inner noise and outer calm, speaking to the modern condition of overstimulation and the need for stillness.
