Artworks by Scott Olmstead

Being able to paint from my apartment in Buffalo, New York, as an abstract geometric fine artist is why I wish to work with Artfinder. I am very active on social media and a favorite artist, Samantha Malone speaks very highly of you. I have shipping experience and have six large size abstract paintings I'vs sold under my belt. One piece is permanently on display at Buffalo Convention Center. Erie County bought it for their permanent collection. My creative process unfolds through spontaneity and intuition. Each painting begins without a predetermined plan, allowing color, shape, and movement to guide the composition. Through the interplay of geometric forms and organic gestures, the work explores balance, tension, and harmony within abstraction. Fields of color emerge as emotional landscapes, reflecting both structure and freedom. Being disabled and forced to use my right hand gives my work an extra layer of new experimentation—layered, blended, and redefined until the surface reveals its own rhythm. Every painting ends up being unique but also lets my style from my disability create something very unique to my paintings. I apply my hard edge tape with both hands. The magic happens because my right arm doesn’t extend outward very much, and I am not able to lift it above my waist. This creates interesting organic geometric shapes that come together with freestyle painting for the final effect. My creations may emerge from a blend of anxiety, depression, disability, and love. The narrative they convey is open to interpretation by the viewer. Scott Olmstead
