Pat Truzzi's Artist Statement:
"I
have always loved drawing figures, faces, and animals, and I've long been
fascinated by the relationships between people and animals. My paintings
are comments on the human condition most often using our relationships
with animals as metaphors for feelings, fears and desires. The element
of mystery appeals to me, and I hope to invite viewers to enter into the
game by pushing the boundaries of objective reality to examine the nature
of universal emotions.
My painting process begins with images from my imagination. I use a variety
of media such as transparent watercolor, gouache, watercolor pencil, charcoal,
and anything else I think will help make a successful painting. The fluidity
and character of transparent watercolor is a joy to work with, but I also
like to work with opaque water media on a gesso coated surface. This surface
adds animation and allows me the freedom to change and explore while a
work is in progress."
