Dean Triolo  

From the time he was a Child Triolo has been intrigued with the patterning of light and the interaction of color. “In the course of my life’s path I fell away from any sense of creative freedom, working from what I thought was expected of me.” Triolo said. “Throughout the long process of releasing an imposed belief system and replacing it with my own experiences and truths, I have become able, emotionally and spritually, to access my child spirit through my adult educated mind.”

Triolo seeks to establish the intricate web between energy and the emotion of its rhythmic patterns In his work. “Our environment is not as it appears. All things are composed of atomic structure and there is constant movement within this structure. When I see these things, I feel the movement and pattern of this energy. I put forth the base essence of these energies and distill them down to arrangements of light and texture, their aura. Through my art, I see beyond what is seen.”

“Our world today has become so SMALL,” Triolo said, “That there are no more frontiers. I am trying to show that there are great wonders and beauty in everything still. The frontier we seek is within us, not outside of us. There is a deep spiritual connection between us and our world. The more externally visual a culture we become, The more important it is that there be a visual voice that speaks to the inner experience.”

Triolo hopes that his painting helps people go on an inward journey in their relationship to the world around them.
