The series that I have been working on for the past few years are about geometric form, symmetry and vibrant color use while taking inspiration from snowflakes, kaleidoscopes, stained glass and mandalas.”

Tina-Marie Poulin’s artworks are full of vivid colors; lime green, tangerine orange, red and fuchsia. Poulin enjoys clashing color combinations until the artwork has a psychedelic quality to it. The color combinations stem from both the 1960’s Op Art movement and the boldness of the Fauves.

Poulin is drawn to the symmetrical pattern, light and luminous colors of the kaleidoscope. Unlike the sharp mirror images of the kaleidoscope, the artworks are more biomorphic and organic. The softer shapes grow like a flower, while the patterns and lines intertwine coming together to create a harmonious picture balance.
