VIENO, Jon
Paintings
Artist Statement
Painting for me is close to an ongoing prayer enhanced with color. I tend to be nocturnal during my awake state. There is little distraction during nighttime when mindfulness and meditation are at their peak. I often paint until dawn, at my studio on the East Side of St. Paul. Afterwards, I head over to Payne Avenue for a psychedelic breakfast capturing the goodness of those who work and live the neighborhood – the beauty for the offering.
