Cloud-Like Paintings

Time Machine by Allison Torneros Gains Inspiration From the Void

— June 4, 2012 — Art & Design
The new series of paintings by Allison Torneros is a collection of illustrations that portray a formation of abstract imagery through a void of random colors and objects.

Titled 'Time Machine,' the drawings are created by having an initial layer of water color applied in a spontaneous way onto a blank canvas. After it has dried, Torneros looks at the resulting image and draws something based on the influence and emotions that are sparked by the random combination of color, movement and texture. The majority of images incorporate eyes into the artwork, representative of the method in which the artist employs to create her work -- observing and tuning into the offers presented by association and interpretation.

On her website Allison Torneros says, "I am constantly on a search to find a happy medium: between the beautiful and the grotesque, the abstract and the figurative, and that golden moment between sleep and awake."
Trend Themes
1. Abstract Art - Allison Torneros' spontaneous and abstract approach to art challenges the traditional form of art creation, opening opportunities for nontraditional artists and collectors alike.
2. Emotional Influence - Incorporating emotions and movements into art creation provides a way for artists to tap into their own creativity and unique expressions.
3. Personalized Interpretation - Allowing personal interpretation of random and abstract art encourages individual meaning-making, leading to deeper and more personal connections to the artwork.
Industry Implications
1. Art Industry - Allison Torneros' Time Machine series shows the potential for new forms of art creation, expanding the industry to include nontraditional styles and techniques.
2. Digital Art - Digitizing the water color and ink-based art can allow for wider distribution and accessibility of Allison Torneros' art, opening up opportunities for digital art platforms.
3. Home Decor - Allison Torneros' paintings with their bold colors, textures, and psychologically evocative forms can be transformed into textiles designs or wall art, creating an opportunity for Torneros to enter into home decor market.
