Artist - Alejandro Martinez--Pena


An artist I stumbled on that inspired me is Alejandro Martinez-Pena. His paintings are not pictorial but are very abstract and colorful. His work inspires me to loosen up with my painting and to try and not be so literal and realistic. I was able to relate this to my website project because I was intrigued with the texture and feel of each piece. It reminded me of the grungy, yet colorful backgrounds I have been choosing for my page backgrounds. Most of the backgrounds I've used have been close-up images of rust, paint, water drops, etc.
The website link for this artist is: http://www.martinez-pena.com/page1.htm
