Fascinated by remnants of past civilizations visible in the ruins on an island in Crete, artist Patrick St. Germain created this evocatively abstract work of art. The artist used gel to give the piece texture, layering in acrylic paint, charcoal and washes of white for added depth. Each handpainted canvas displayed in a hardwood floating frame expertly recreates the dynamic composition and textural richness of the original mixed-media painting.
