Paintings
Arno transforms selected images with themes of intellect, complexity, Art and wisdom by juxtaposing print media with Plexiglas, minerals, and layers of acrylic paint. He creates a cohesive dynamic representation of energy. His exciting mixed media collage paintings feature powerful icons and images, ranging from the contemplative Buddha, to musicians, philosophers, mathematicians, writers, and beautiful women. His range flows from the profound to the aesthetic. His visuals echo the energetic world rhythms heard in his music.
