Welcome to Artreflectionsca Blog!
Hello and let me introduce myself,
My name is Ana, I am an artist and founder of Artreflectionsca (www.artreflectionsca.com).
Artreflectionsca is a reflection of my personal ambition for creation and my need to express through art my emotions and my past personal experiences. The artistic freedom inherent in every constructive creative process became for me a dedicated effort; thus, the start and the evolution of Artreflectionsca. It all begun with a leap of faith at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic when I decided to simply paint.
My artistic style did not fortuitously come about or evolved with my creative process; it has been shaped and molded by personal experiences growing up in South America as a child, and later, as an adult living in Canada.
I choose to paint on birch wood panels as a ground for creation as it provides greater stability for the use of my mediums, acrylics and metal leaf appliqués. The use of palette knife technique is helpful in the application of acrylics but it has also a place in the constructive process of my paintings. It has a place in the artistic process since it is a conduit for the purposefully and meaningful creation of texture and contrast necessary for the overall composition and structure of my paintings. The choice of mediums is interlaced with personal symbolism, preference, and purposefulness.
As an artist, I also seek to capture the reflective properties of metal, geodes and glass in my art. By exploring reflective mediums like resin and glass crystals, I am able to create geode inspired art with unique combinations of colors and light effects. Each geode art piece is structured by a unifying composition of colors that harmoniously symbolize natural elements of the tropics.
If I had to categorize my art, it would be both modern and abstract; modern on account of the architectural evidence of geometrical shapes and forms, and abstract by reason of the philosophical representations of places and time.
Let me introduce you to my blog;

The blog will be a platform for sharing knowledge, ideas and tips ranging from the process of creation, ideas about how to find inspirations for your art and advices on how to take care of your resin artwork, among other topics.

Epoxy resin has gained significant popularity in the past years among artists and artists alike due to its versatility, binding, durability and glass like properties. Its versatility applies to not only its ability to homogeneously combine with acrylic paint, pigments and alcohol based dyes but also to its innate fluid form that can be shaped and casted into desirable 3 dimensional art pieces. Epoxy resin can be easily poured over surfaces adding a protective glass like layer to paintings and sculptures. Artists have explored the properties of epoxy resin in creative processes that have led to exceptional pieces of furniture, sculptures and geode inspired art pieces.
These exceptional pieces of art and furniture will add a modern and contemporary allure to any living space; however, special attention is required for the proper handling, maintenance and care of a resin artwork or furniture. Epoxy resin is a form of plastic and can as a result of its properties react and change when exposed to chemicals, UV light, humidity and extreme temperatures.
