Ben Fluno

Abstract Expressionist Painter

For me, art is the fullest expression of my personality, the outer workings of the inner musings being released onto canvas.  Working in an abstract expressionistic style, each painting has a unique and one-off character to it. Using different media for contrast and texture, I am drawn to bold colors that explode onto the canvas in an eruption of emotion and passion.

Working mainly in large scale abstract mixed media paintings, I create using many different mediums including Oil, Acrylic, Resin, Pouring Medium, Gold Leaf, canvas on canvas, and other repurposed materials.   I am always looking for new ways to add depth and texture and mainly apply paint using a large palette knife to give a heavy impasto style texture.   I also love working with repurposed materials such as leftover canvas scraps and house paints. 

With a background in architecture, real estate and design, I blend my love for design with abstract artwork, creating modern and contemporary artwork that work in many different styles of homes and commercial properties.

She was always obsessed with design and creative arts.Later in lifeJillbeganpainting to unwind.She has an intense approach to her artwork, built upon ever evolving layers and spontaneous changes. She jokes that“no battle plan ever survives first contact with the enemy!”--one of her favorite expressions from her years of litigation.

Lina Alattar - Expressionist Painter

36"H x 48"W

Acrylic on canvas

Framed

$3,200

About The Artist:

Lina Alattar is a Northern Virginia-based artist. Growing up in several cultures and environments, she became attuned to the rhythms and flow of each place.  One by one, these influences make their way into her paintings, as they become the visual and energetic basis of her artistic practice.

Lina’s painting process is deeply influenced by 5Rhythms, a dance philosophy based on movement, creativity and connections. These five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. Using acrylic paint, each painting starts by pouring foundational color fields. From there she transitioned into staccato and chaos, inviting expansive movements and brushstrokes. With deep observation, she shifts to the lyrical stage of the process, by looking for patterns and cycles. This leads her to the final stage, stillness, a surrendered state of being with her work. 

The synthesis of her life’s travels and curiosity connects her to a dynamic yet lyrical quality of my work; and like a dance, it becomes the roadmap to everywhere she wants to go.
