 
Award-winning artist, Albert Barcilon, creates bold abstract paintings that are a unique trip into a visionary world of his invention. In a style that is very much his own, Barcilon paints from his personal experiences rather than tapping into historical precedence, and tailors a unique visual language for each piece. Compositions change distinctively from piece to piece, each time he approaches the canvas a new world emerges. Yet, his colors and compositions provide a unity to his body of work. He has a muscular approach to painting characterized by large movements of shapes and textures that convey the spirit of a place rather than the likeness of it.
The audience is encouraged to read into each piece, where color is a driving force behind much of the emotional response. His creative process is founded upon the reaction to disorder. "I deliberately set my canvas in a state of chaos. Then, I welcome the random hand that is dealt." A passion for art runs deep in the Barcilon family. Pinin Brambilla Barcilon, Albert’s aunt, is the renowned restorer of da Vinci's 'The Last Supper.' Barcilon lives and works between Boulder, Colorado and Tallahassee, Florida; he has participated in numerous solo exhibitions and juried shows around the United States.
