Perfect for collectors searching for Jackson Pollock-style drip paintings, expressive abstract art, or contemporary artworks with muted gold accents, this piece pulses with kinetic energy and refined spontaneity.

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 vibrant original artwork by Raphael measures 30 inches tall by 26 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. This artwork can be installed both vertically and horizontally. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity from the art gallery is included.

In Jazz It Up, Raphael expertly layers streams of black, muted gold, graphite gray, and pale blue over a warm neutral canvas. Using a gestural drip technique, the artist builds a frenetic yet balanced composition that feels like a visual score—notes of color dancing across the surface in a carefully orchestrated chaos.

Each splatter and line pulses with life, creating an intricate map of movement that rewards prolonged viewing. The layering of color reveals depth and texture without overwhelming the senses, offering a controlled explosion of visual tension and release.

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.
