About the Artwork
Jylian Gustlin uniquely combines the effects of modern technology with traditional techniques. Her artwork often conveys the same complex layered effects possible in computer programs. Working with two- part epoxy resin, oil and acrylic paints, charcoal, wax, gold leaf, pastel and graphite on board, Gustlin draws, paints, scratches on her surfaces. For the last several years, Jylian Gustlin has been working on a series of paintings that are based on the Fibonacci mathematical theories. The Fibonacci mathematical theory creates rectangles and shell spirals based on calculations. She is also exploring the relationship of Fibonacci numbers to the petals on flowers and how to use these ideas in paintings as well as the relationship of Fibonacci to musical scales and how the 5-tone scale, 8-tone scale, and 13-tone scale.
