PAUL ANGIOLILLO

BIO

Artist's Statement

I try to create works that are contemporary and original,
yet also have a sense of tradition and universality.
I often like to explore opposites: representational/abstract,
primitive/refined, rough/smooth, tension/relaxation, whimsical/serious.
Some of the qualities I strive for: beauty, sensuality, humor,
transformation, and social awareness (but not all at once)..
