I am an oil painter who specializes in atmospheric paintings that evoke emotional spaces. I have a long standing meditation practice, which informs my work. The paintings which connect with viewers through our shared consciousness, open the door to a spiritual world; offering a sense of transcendence, a glimpse into an existence apart from everyday activities.
Many paintings begin with a primary layer of gray toned hues, and are built through a process of layering semi-transparent glazes of color. The process of addition and subtraction is visible in the surface of the painting, invites the viewer’s eye to travel around and through the paint, discovering hidden or obscured forms.
RM Cimini, a fine artist lives and works in Delaware. Featured in multiple group and solo exhibitions, her work was notably included in an exhibit at Belskie Museum in Closter, NJ and the Monmouth Museum in Lincroft, NJ. She served, from 8/2016 until 6/2019, as President of Studio Montclair, a non-profit visual arts organization. An inducted member of the National Association of Women Artists, she holds an MFA in painting and sculpture from Bennington College. Her work is held in private collections in the United States and abroad and in the public collections of Atlantic Health Systems, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the MC Hotel.
