Bio:
Lisa Busnengo is an abstract acrylic and mixed media artist in South Dartmouth, MA. Spiritual in nature, Lisa's work reflects her connection to all that lies beyond our earthbound existence.
Early on, her affinity for circles emerged and quickly became the geometric cornerstone of her work ; as did her use of gold paint. Lisa's current focus is on a signature collection series entitled 'Astral Portraits'. Her 'Astral Portraits' series is the natural progression and succession to an earlier series entitled 'The Power of 3'. In this series the artist used only gold, white, and black paint to express a conversation that takes place between five paintings and reveals the culmination of a process that lead Lisa to a more balanced and harmonious state of Unity consciousness within.
Much like automatic writing, Lisa describes her work as automatic painting...the inspired and informed execution of higher messaging.
Artist Statement:
Whether it be through dance, theater, or film ; poetry, music, or painting, I have been a lifelong lover of art. There have been many times in life when I have found my Soul in need of feeding. During those times, I have turned to art, in all of its wondrous forms for nourishment and renewal. For me, to live and love through the art of creative expression and manifestation is the ultimate joy.
