Al Longo

My work is a response to my natural surroundings, but in abstracted and stylized forms, sometimes presenting them as though magnified under a microscope. By using pure vivid colors and abstract simple forms I challenge the viewer to re-examine both my work and nature in an uncommon and atypical way.
