Sobre el Artista

Troy Carney was born in New Zealand and has resided on the island of Kauai, Hawaii for the past 30 years. As a self-taught artist, Troy incorporates the mediums of oil, genuine gold leaf, acrylic, watercolors and Japanese woodcut. His style is romantic realism, featuring exotic elements and sacred symbology. In his art, Troy evokes the delicate, organized design of spirals and curves that are found in the balance of nature. By capturing the expansive flow of waves and clouds, his art reflects the awe and importance of water on our planet. Troy elicits the value of our oceans by gilding their form in the precious element of gold. The art featured here is a unique process which Troy has developed over the past 10 years. This style utilizes one to 36 hand cut layers to form a textured multi-dimensional creation on wood, resulting in an original oil painting on 12k-24k genuine white and yellow gold. Each layer of a painting reflects the light giving more depth to the ever changing highlights. This effect generates an ephemeral quality to a painting, as the light and mood of the day subtly changes.
