LaPrea Rich

Artist Bio

My name is LaPrea Rich and my artist pseudonym is Blaque Swan. I call myself the Blaque Swan because black swans are known for being underestimated and rare. Black swans are also considered to be the outliers in the Cygnus community. I possess a Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology; Anthropology. One of my favorite courses in undergrad was "Theories". The theory I enjoyed learning the most was the "Black Swan Theory" The Black Swan Theory is an event that is unexpected but yields a high impact! The focal point of this theory resonates with me both personally and professionally. Not only am I full of surprises when it comes to releasing newcontent but you'll never know when I'll fly into your city and participate in the next Art Gala.

Artist Statement

My name is Blaque Swan and I am Visual Artist with a specialty in abstract expressionism. My artwork explores the relationship between color, texture, and form. I am inspired by the beauty of the natural world, as well as the emotions and experiences that shape our lives.

For me, painting is a deeply personal and intuitive process. I approach each canvas with an open mind, allowing the colors and shapes to guide my hand as I create each piece. I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and materials, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of abstract art. I use materials such as acrylics and mixed media, to build up the surface of the canvas and create a sense of depth and complexity.

Ultimately, my goal as an abstract painter is to create works that are both visually stunning and emotionally stimulating. I seek to capture the fleeting moments of beauty and emotion that exist all around us, inviting the viewer to contemplate their own experiences and perceptions of the world. I believe that art has the power to inspire, enrich and transform our lives. As an artist, I believe that my art has the power to connect us all to something greater than ourselves and am honored that I am able contribute my gift to humanity.
