Deep Blue Night
California artist Max Rodriguez says that color is the most essential element in his artwork, a fact he attributes to the rich colors of his memories of his native Cuba. “Whether painting abstracts, landscapes or figurative pieces, the color combinations and contrasts tell much of the story.” “Deep Blue Night” is an example of his deft touch with color: steeped in blue and violet, with appliques of colored leaves embossed with gold thread, it evokes the bright moon glow on water in the still of the night.
