"In the 90's" is a series of watercolors about my mother's life after she turned 90 years old. I wanted to show there is quality of life at that age. I have attempted to show glimpses of the things she enjoyed doing as well as some somber moments She liked drinking her coffee and tea out of China cups, reading, sewing, cooking, knitting, quilting, and she loved the funny pages.

My geometric abstract constructions break the plane of two-dimensional painting and are composed of colored, textured, and multi-layered elements made from common materials such as wood, copper, and aluminum. I create their visual complexity by varying the depth, color, and texture of each piece to draw the viewer into the work. I never sketch before I start a new piece but trust my intuition and the materials at hand to guide me as I create works of spatial balance and harmony.

Many of the world’s marvels go unseen, whether due to the flow of time or being beyond our perception. Steve Stratis’ work centers around bypassing these limitations - giving the viewer a glimpse of how matter frozen in time and invisible phenomena may appear. Stratis fuses digital techniques such as 3D sculpting and VFX (visual effects) to apply a stylistic spin, resulting in a unique abstract-centric aesthetic. Steve aims to inspire a greater interest in physics and further appreciation for the many powers that shape our world.

That is the ultimate in self expression." Capturing the wide array of colours that we see everyday if we really look, is such a joy. From the bright primary colours, to the rich fall colours and the many shades in between,,,it is an artists dream come true.
