Al Razza

Whether painting representational pictures or something purely abstract, Al Razza's works are meant to be provocative and stimulating. The surface should be active and full of energy, pulling each viewer closer like a magnet. His inspiration comes from diverse artistic styles as well as social and environmental conditions. Abstract expressionism, color field, minimalism and even pop art are explored in his work. The materials used are largely canvas, paper and plastic with a mix of oil, enamel and acrylic. Each work starts from a simple idea and is developed with a great deal of thought. Trusting in inspiration he works fast and methodical, experimenting and making discoveries while he works. With each step he is guided by instinct to the works completion.
