Steve Javiel

Steve Javiel is an artist living and working in Oakland. The strong presence of color in his work is a representation of community. Also, color brings him joy and it always brightens his day. It’s a reminder that better days are ahead. This new series is an attempt to spread the positive energy that he holds inside himself. As he looks at these new pieces, he can see his growth and confidence as an artist. Javiel’s process often begins with photographs of flowers that he distorts and strips of detail while maintaining their floral essence. Simultaneously, he breaks down their color and composition in his head. While painting he utilizes a variety of tools, ranging from different-sized brushes and stencils to oil pastels. As he works with oil pastels, the unconscious takes over. Layers upon layers are applied until the surfaces take on a life of their own.

 

Artist Details

The most prominent benefit for artists accepted into our auction is exposure to our deep network of art collectors and enthusiasts. We ask that you update your Artist Statement, keeping to a paragraph or two, and giving the viewer a glimpse of what you’re up to these days.

 

One Minute Video

We highly encourage you to provide a one-minute video of you holding and describing your piece. This places your work in context for both our jury and prospective buyers, which has shown in the past to make a difference in interest and sales.
