Claudine Bing
Artist Statement:
My paintings are artistic explorations of my curiosity about our planet and our universe. I read about the newest scientific discoveries and ponder how they correspond to our psychology as human beings. Our lives are intertwined with the cosmic forces of time and space. For many years I have created images about the shift of continents, tectonic plates, ridges under the ocean and the forming, through different eras, of our earth and sky. I want my art to express the contrast between the individual human being and the vast powers of light, matter and energy. That we are all made of star dust continues to fascinate me. My paintings express this.
