Jaclyn Mottola
“The bulk of my process is problem-solving through trial and error – visualizing, moving, adding, subtracting, shifting. I focus on manipulating color, texture, and shapes – searching for a composition that creates a sense of harmony and comfort.”
Overview
Jaclyn Mottola is a visual artist based in New York City. Her paintings explore abstraction using muted colors, balanced compositions, and layered texture. Her work and process are inspired by searching for simplicity in her surrounding environment.
Jaclyn, who received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Maryland, challenges the concept of complexity and aims to build subtle compositions that create intense interest and an unexpected sense of harmony and comfort. Her work offers a variety of textures that she achieves by using different tools, like brushes, palette knives, or paint rollers.
Jaclyn focuses on “manipulating color, texture, and shapes – searching for a composition that creates a sense of harmony and comfort.” Her work has been featured in shows along the east coast, including New York and Washington, D.C.
