Remembrance of Things Past - Oil on Canvas 36'' x 24'' Albert Barcilon is an artist of immense poise and creativity. His paintings are careful composites, built up in oils through many layers. Barcilon employs a palette of rich earth tones, bringing out vibrant brick reds and ochre. In some works these play against halcyon blue or a shock of cadmium yellow, but there is usually a cohesive patina to the works which lends them a sense both of confidence and a masterly quality. Strong blended brushstrokes give an impression of contained movement and make the canvas’ surface vibrate with energy. This dynamism unites the various disparate elements that inhabit the landscapes Barcilon conjures, resulting in strongly emotive works with solid visual grounding.
Although many of his compositions are abstract, Barcilon draws much inspiration from the natural world around him. One can see the influences of the breathtaking countryside of both Florida and Colorado, which he divides his time between, but his practical approach draws on his knowledge as a scientist, a career he traded to practice and teach art.

However, Barcilon’s artistic drive is to encapsulate through the hand of fate guiding his own hand the ideas, emotions and experiences that he felt at the time, immortalized in paint.

A passion for art runs deep in the Barcilon family. Pinin Brambilla Barcilon, Albert’s aunt, is the renowned restorer of da Vinci's 'The Last Supper’. Albert Barcilon has participated in numerous solo exhibitions and juried shows across the United States.
