VARYA MCMILLAN ART The Power of Color
WELCOME! I paint imaginative cityscapes based loosely on Reality, inspired by childhood memories & influenced by music & poetry! None of these cities exists in reality exactly the way a viewer sees it on my paintings.
What guides me is the feeling of Magic, Light as opposed to Dark, The Mystery behind recognizable shapes , the deeply hidden secrets with multiple meanings, which would never be totally revealed.
I do not try to tell a story or force a meaning - it has to emerge, unfold & be discovered so that the viewer can create a story within the Painting.
My imagery is representational but through the lens of abstraction .
