Joy Engelman is an artist based in Orange NSW
In my work, I explore the intricate relationship between reality and the unseen forces that shape it. Utilizing a diverse array of materials, including gilding, metallics, and mica-infused paints, I create multi-layered compositions that invite viewers to engage with the complexities of existence. Each piece serves as a visual representation of the emergence of form from the quantum field, reflecting my fascination with the interplay of light, color, and texture. I am driven by the desire to visualize moments that exist between the known and the unknown, capturing the essence of transformation as it unfolds. My artistic practice is informed by concepts from science and philosophy, particularly the idea of reality as a fluid construct. This perspective allows me to depict a dynamic world where forms shift and evolve, revealing new dimensions with every change in light and angle. Through my work, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity, encouraging viewers to contemplate their own perceptions of reality. The ethereal quality of my pieces, combined with their vibrant colors and intricate textures, creates an immersive experience that reflects the ever-changing nature of existence. Each artwork is not merely a static image but a living entity, continuously reshaped by the viewer's interaction and the surrounding environment.
