In Your Mind, What Color is Summer?

Step into the vibrant world of summer with "Splash, 2023." This series of artworks is a visual ode to the enchanting season, where J. Steven Manolis masterfully blends shades of blue and white. The paintings exude a sense of movement and energy, reminiscent of playful waves crashing onto the shore. The concentric circles create a mesmerizing effect, drawing the viewer deeper into the heart of the artwork.

The artist's skillful use of vitreous acrylic on Arches hot press paper adds depth and texture to the piece, enhancing the allure of the colors. The delicate translucency of the paper complements the theme, evoking the softness of white sandy beaches and the brilliance of a sunlit sky.
