Juxtaposition
2023
Acrylic on linen
30"x40"Mary Hrbacek’s Description:
“Juxtaposition” reveals a kind of kaleidoscopic dream space one can enter on the lower left and pivot through the airy atmosphere of the free-floating expanse. The emotionally charged yet subdued red underpinning supports cut-out rectangles and hexagrams in a work that provides a feeling of relaxed euphoric freedom.”

Acrylic on Linen
30" x 40"We always refer to nature as organic meaning free flowing, however, everything in nature has an order to it and it is more geometric than we realize.
Shiraz 2 - Light and Reflection
2021
Acrylic
36" x 48"Shiraz - beautiful, colorful city of poets and beauty in Iran. This is a composite of my imagination of all the colors reflected in mosaic and stain glass details in palaces and mosques I visited. Fragile and threatened by time and history.

Spring garden
2023
Acrylic on Linen
30" x 40"As an avid gardener I take so much of inspiration directly from nature. Of course as an artist I can create my imaginary arrangement as flowers and plants don’t all bloom at the same time.

Whimsical Arrangement
2022
Acrylic on Linen
36" x 48"This is an ode to the architecture of Shiraz where floral arrangement is weaved through the mosaic work. Taking liberty of free form to bring the bright colors into an organized and disorganized space, where forms break away from their constrained space to make new shapes to create depth within itself.

16" x 12"Construction and de-construction of this painting. I started with a very realistic painting of flowers and then destroyed them by painting over them. It was a difficult process at first and then surprisingly satisfying.

Le Jardin #2
2019
Acrylic
30" x 40"Le Jardin paintings are part of my flower series; experimenting with the traditional fine art oil painting and the more contemporary approach with acrylic paints. Oil paints give a luscious depth and texture to the painting which is sometimes missing in acrylics. By the same token acrylics give a freedom to manipulation which is missing in oil. Manipulating the mediums is my favorite part of the process. You can see more of the latest paintings on my website. The acrylic paintings tend to be very large while the oils are smaller to keep the colors fresh and vibrant.
