Vessels

"As with all of my Mindscape ​paintings, 
each Vessel painting's story evolves over a period of time:
starting out as abstractions and loose sketches,
then moving through a period of associative or aesthetic motifs, color-schemes, visual textures and relational narratives.

​Each step revealing and exploring the 'Life' in the Still-Life.
​
What really excites me about working with this glass-vessel motif
is the opportunity to work with light and color,
line and texture, 
form and space
in such an organic and expressive way.

These Vases, formed by fire for carrying water,
are 
filled with light and space,
void and empty,
transparent, translucent, reflective, luminous,
​fragile and impermanent."

​-Roberto Quintana

“When you look at (the) natural world, it becomes an icon; it becomes a holy picture that speaks of the origins of the world. Almost every mythology sees the origins of life coming out of water. And, curiously, that’s true. It’s amusing that the origin of life out of water is in myths and then again, finally, in science
we find the same thing. It’s exactly so.”

-Joseph Campbell


"Modern physics has confirmed most dramatically one of the basic ideas of Eastern mysticism; that all the concepts we use to
describe nature are limited, that they are not features of reality, as we tend to believe, but creations of the mind;
parts of the map, ​not of the territory."

-Fritjof Capra


 ”Glass is the most magical of all materials. It transmits light in a special way.” -Dale Chihuly
