Figurative Expressions
March 25 - April 15, 2008

Reception: Thursday March 27, 2008 6-8 PM

Press Release

Instantly disarming, fun loving, and affectionate, Cynthia Colis woos audiences with paintings that feature young women with pouting lips poised for kisses. "I feel that there has been so many paintings out there that are scary or dark," Colis explains. "I want to put out there something a little more positive." There is an endearing quality in each painting found in the innocent expectation of reciprocal affection from the viewer. Her exquisite brushwork and painterly modeling of flesh tones adds to the air of exuberance and joy in the work, focused around the full red lips of each woman.

Born in Vietnam and raised in the Philippines and Louisiana, Colis learned to appreciate art early in her youth from watching her father paint at night. She received her BA from the University of Southwest Louisiana before moving to California to pursue her goal of being a full-time artist. Colis lives and works in San Diego.
