For my contemporary artist sketchbook assignment I chose a painter named Federico Infante. Federico's work is very unique in his process, finished products, and overall meaning. He creates these beautiful pieces by a process of painting layers on layers of acrylic paint and then scratching it off. As a result, each piece becomes unique in it's own way. Federico also doesn't plan his work in advance, and tries to "stay present and as detached as possible from the result," which I find really inspiring. I love the colors, movement, and mystery that is found in his work and I'm now using Federico's pieces to inspire my concentration. Definitely checkout his website and I also recommend reading his artist statement (http://www.federicoinfante.com/)!

This is a thumbnail of my experimentation for my concentration. I took pictures of chipped or patterned surfaces and I'm going to combine them with a portrait of movement. I'm still experimenting with composition and brushes but I continue to be inspired by Federico's work.
