Bird Paintings Using Fire and Soot by Steven Spazuk

Canadian artist Steven Spazuk uses fire and soot as his medium to create a series of Bird Paintings. His artwork is unique and beautiful, despite of the elements of spontaneity as he moves along the fluidity of the soot. Each piece is processed in a moment of meditative creativity and surrender, thereby producing a dreamy, ethereal image. Indeed, his work is Extraordinary!

Enjoy!

 

 

Artist’s Statement:

“For the past 14 years, Spazuk has developed and perfected a unique technique that allows him to use the flame of a candle or the flame of a torch as a pencil to create his paintings with trails of soot. Using various tools, he intuitively sculpt the plumes of soot left behind in response to the shapes that appear on the canvas.”
