Hello Summer II, Silicon Valley series, by artist P. Mudafort can be considered a meditation on matter and color.

“In my series Silicon Valley, I often begin my paintings with a sensation of color, often inspired by memories of expansive natural phenomena or aesthetics from the history of art, such as the landscape genre. Then, I interrupt this vision of pure sentimental color with a gesture of voluminous substance (paint impasto) to create new, dynamic panoramas of color experience that are loaded with the nostalgic power and inspired in the greatest phenomena; the frontier of our vision: the horizon.’’ – P. Mudafort.

Her paintings highlight the raw sensuality of material and color. The exposed materiality (impasto) in her work emanates a sense of feral immediacy that encourages the spectator to view her paintings as pure material phenomena.
