Acrylic on canvas.

Apa’s previous hobby of photography and a keen awareness of color and composition act as a bridge between formal theory and an expressive, subconscious intuition. Apa plays like a happy kid with brand new crayons, delighting in negative space, texture and color interplay. Abstract? Pop? Automatic painting? These are energetic works to be enjoyed and felt, not analyzed too much; that’s why the paintings don’t even have names.
