Artworks by Mutlu Ertac

I have been painting in Oil and Acrylic since 1983. The distinctive, broad strokes of color on canvas serve as my signature style. My colors are harmoniously arranged, seeking simplicity and pure shimmering of light and color in my paintings.
I like to use broad ,vivid colors and sudden large brush strokes to create an image that is spontaneous but very well thought before applied on Canvas... I am a colorist, working in exaggerated color, using dynamic but carefully controlled color relationships and in my abstract works ,I approach the painting as color first , feeling that is expressed and later the composition and whole idea of the art to fit together....
