Mario Henrique's Symphony Paintings epitomise a journey into abstract expressionism while maintaining the essence of his figurative art origins, seamlessly blending the painter's signature technique of splatters, drippings, and abrupt paint strokes on unprimed canvas.
Each canvas mirrors the structure of a symphony with four movements: a lively sonata-allegro, a contemplative adagio, a dynamic minuet and trio, and a spirited finale. Drawing from this musical analogy, the initial splatters evolve into meticulously crafted areas in black acrylic and white gesso. Next, shapes and graphic elements emerge through the use of oil sticks. Finally, the piece is brought to life with vibrant bursts of color.
Together, these elements orchestrate a visual symphony, resulting in a series of contemporary abstract paintings that resonate with aesthetic allure.
