Jason Stephen

All the paintings that I create are painted with acrylics on canvas and are inspired by different styles of music. When beginning a piece of work, I pick colors that are appealing, stimulating, and draw attention to the eye to create a pleasurable experience for the viewer. I do not start painting until I become emersed in the music. Then what I create is 'pure abstract' because it reflects the motion of the music. When I paint to rock, pop, or alternative music, it inspires me to create dark or bright colors, dense lines and circular motions. Jazz music inspires contrasting vibrant colors and dynamic shapes. Classical music inspires lighter tone colors and free flowing designs. Country music moves me to capture the emotion that it brings to mind. In my pieces, I want to show a sense of motion, rhythm, balance, and unity.

With my photography, I want to provide the viewer with glimpses of the world as seen through my eyes. But, I want to frame my work from a perspective that makes people feel like they are actually there with me. I want to achieve the same sense of balance and unity that I strive for in my abstract paintings. There is beauty to be found in most everything we see in this great country. We all need to slow down our fast paced lives and take note of the beauty in the things that surround us. Beauty is indeed seen through the eyes of the beholder.
