About Lucian Richards

Lucian Richards is a California native whose artistic journey has spanned multiple media, including photography, art glass, woodworking, and acrylics, often influenced by the early 20th-century art forms. Currently, he focuses on creating acrylic paintings on canvas, emphasizing color and texture to shape the direction and theme of each piece. His work is rooted in freeform abstraction, often where compositions emerge spontaneously without preconceived ideas about color or subject matter. The process is intuitive, allowing brushes and other tools to guide the unfolding of each painting.

Lucian finds inspiration in color, nature, and the time of day, though no particular scene calls him to compose; rather, his mood dictates his creative flow. His technique is straightforward yet deeply expressive: his intuitive approach, combined with his sensitivity to color and texture, makes his art unique and evocative, inviting viewers into a dynamic visual experience shaped moment by moment.
