ABOUT THE WORK

Justin Nuyda’s abstractions are trembling in the brink of reality; from surreal to real, tempestuous to serene, and arid to beautiful - his works breathe a different air. A reflection of a dream-like atmosphere distinctly marked by bold and broad brush strokes, this oeuvre, conjures an assemblage of patterns textured like a natural straw fabric where the viewers will feel wrapped in wonder why this still canvas seem to be moving and fan out evocative colors of blue and brown forming an ambivalent figure of the clouds, a lake and its shore, and the other spaces in between giving a thunderously silence yet vibrantly calm picturesque image bringing forth an awareness to Nuyda’s creative attempt to photograph a picture of a sight as well as capture the sound within the peripherals of the mind of what it tries to find - not lost, but simply searching - gripping, hypnotic, even puzzling at times - Nuyda accompanies his spectators in diving into a diverse range of visual elements worth exploring.
