About this Artwork
Informed by a variety of different cultures, Ostovany feels a connection to multiple separate and yet complementary mystical traditions.
He looks toward elements of Western and Eastern art, literature, spirituality, poetry and music to create an environment and a mindset conducive to his process, which is connected to Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting.
The inspiration for, and meaning of the series "Peregrine" lies in its title:
PER•E•GRINE /ˈperəgrin/ [from Latin peregrinus 'foreign', from peregre 'abroad', from per- 'through' + ager ‘field']: Foreign, alien, wandering, migratory.
