Paul Juno
Los Angeles Fine Art Painter & Multimedia Artist
Paul Juno - Each day is an opportunity to create something unique and truly original. By allowing the freedom to use any medium available, creativity remains personal, entertaining, stress-free and mentally cathartic.
Macro paint photography - I like to search for life's hidden compositions in the macro world of various paints. Using fluid paint and a macro lens, I create marbled designs on a large surface and photograph them as they warp and meld into fascinating scenes. I call these ‘agate paintings’ and this practice became my catalyst for appreciating organic compositions. From there birthed a fascination with documenting a different type of texture, impasto oil paint. Here I whip up a palette of colors and use a palette knife to create intriguing color harmonies.
Fine art painting - I enjoy painting scenes of quiet leisure, photographing moments of the city and home life. Lately I've been obsessed with still life paintings, which offer up an interesting genre of communication from painter to viewer, utilizing real world objects, some more familiar than others, arranged in such a way as to evoke thoughtful discourse. I enjoy combining traditional elements with vintage and modern-day consumerist products to create unique compositions.
Public art -.Painting murals is a truly exciting medium as a whole; Public art is the people's art museum, it’s an outdoor art gallery that enhances the neighborhood in a positive and colorful manner, transforming blank walls into traveling destinations. I primarily utilize hand-brushed techniques to create vibrant story-telling illustrations that are unique and fun. Designing site-specific artwork is a fantastic opportunity of finding the perfect balance between art and architecture to accentuate the immediate area for the better.
