Oil over Silver Leaf with acid & resin on Board ~ Original painting, gallery wrapped
The composition of Hamilton paintings are inspired by the changing seasons of natural landscapes, which are interpreted in a powerfully monochromatic content.
Harmony and balance flows through Hamilton onto his surface as he paints, bringing forth an inner peace. Using silver leaf on wood panel that's gallery wrapped, Hamilton Aguiar has developed an artistic application that inspired him to combine different textures to create an incredible body of work.
The illumination of light reflecting upon the surface allows the viewer to delve into the depth of the imagery.
Aguiar applies silver leaf over the entire background of his panel boards. Then he creates washes and shadows with oil paint. The images radiate a dramatic light due to the interaction between the richness of the oils and the mercurial nature of the silver.
