My artwork showcases the artistry of emotion.

About Me

Stephen D Stewart is a Louisiana based Abstract Expressionist whose practice delves into the inner workings of human experience and perception. He is known for his strong use of color and gesturation. His works are thought provoking and intense. The musicality of his brushwork can be not only seen but felt. Stephen draws upon his personal experiences growing up in Texas as well as things that he contemplates to create worlds of color and movement.

For Stephen, his paintings are alive and represent people and as such this diverse and interesting family of paintings embody his oeuvre. Each with their own distinct personality and moods able to stand on their own but also work well together. They seem to at times to allow the viewer to see not only their secrets but the viewers secrets as well. This push and pull is at the heart of his works. They are the emotional oceans that we all know so well but yet to have discovered.
