My Background
Germain Mitacc was born in Ica, Peru, and attended Green River College in Auburn, Washington, receiving an Associate in Fine Arts in 2015. He also attended Cornish College of the Arts, receiving his BFA in 2020. While at Cornish, he was a gallery assistant in the Art Department and collaborated on the installation of Chicago-based artist Leonard Suryujaya at Specialist Gallery in Seattle. He also collaborated on the installation of art pieces for artists Karen Gjelsteen and Matthew Smucker at Cornish Playhouse in Seattle, participated in the art auction at Coca Gallery in Seattle, and worked as a volunteer in organizing the Neddy Program at Cornish.
I’m a painter based in Seattle. I use various stencil materials, book references, and imagery from art websites as part of my making process. Deep research into Sacred Geometry and Psychology is also part of my current making practice.
My paintings are an exploration of layers, monochromatic colors, patterns, lines, and abstract forms. These methods and materials allow me to search for meaning and to understand the unknown through symbols. It is a constant meditation of the individual, of the inner self—an attempt to express the complexities of human consciousness.
My Medium
I use oil painting for my artwork. I enjoy the process of working with oil medium, allowing me to experiment, to execute without caring of the consequences, creating out of the things that influences me as an artist.
My Inspiration
I use sacred, religious, and spiritual symbolism to inspire my art practice. I sketch it, draw on paper, and make stencils for my artwork.
