Primarily a painter, Ms. Creyts also pursues silkscreen printmaking and digital projects. Her works are signed ~ mariaurora
Paintings are created by observing assembled still lifes directly and through a patient accretion of satiny acrylic paint, scraped smooth with a blade. Working on paper allows first layers of acrylic to be applied thinly, similar to watercolor. The paper painting is adhered to canvas-covered support. Recent works are circular tondos or based on sewing pattern shapes.
ON LEFT (front page): The artist painting Ellen, a work that recalls qualities and tastes of her grandmother. A silvery-white still life arrangement of pink and green embroidered fabrics and a summer dress is viewed through a window that isolates the composition. Later, the painting was adhered to a specially made shaped canvas, 32“ x 30”.
