Manipulating the Light: Monoprints by Benjamin & Anna Marie Varela

Expressions Graphics Presents:

"Manipulating the Light"

Monoprints by Benjamin and Anna Marie Varela
Husband and Wife Collaboration.

"We are expressing our thoughts by manipulating the light, the appearance of our artwork is representational, abstract and non objective filled with bright colors. The impressionist painted the light that they saw in nature and we are manipulating the light to express our ideas, the title of this is manipulating the light. With warm regards Benjamin and Anna Marie Varela "
