Nicholas Coroneos
  
The paintings of Nicholas Coroneos portray nature in an iconic, monumental style. His canvases are large, with thick multi-layered brushwork.  His images of cacti look beyond the obvious into the spiritual depths of nature.  
 
 

 
His images are painted with a thick underlayer of  intense hallucinagenic color, rendered using abstract brushwork and splattering reminiscent of the paintings of Jackson Pollock. Nicholas then paints over this layer, letting it show through in strategic areas.  The result gives the viewer a sense of a Don Juan-like mysticism, hinting at a deeper layer of understanding beyond the surface of the material world.
