Nicholas Coroneos
The paintings of Nicholas Coroneos portray nature in an iconic, monumental
style. His canvases are large, with thick multi-layered brushwork.
His images of cacti look beyond the obvious into the spiritual depths of
nature.

His images are painted with a thick underlayer of intense
hallucinagenic color, rendered using abstract brushwork and splattering
reminiscent of the paintings of Jackson Pollock. Nicholas then paints over
this layer, letting it show through in strategic areas. The result
gives the viewer a sense of a Don Juan-like mysticism, hinting at a deeper
layer of understanding beyond the surface of the material world.
