Color Constructs

As a retired high school math teacher, I love precision, neatness, shapes, puzzles and patterns. There is a distinct connection between art and mathematics so I am not surprised that I turned to creating art now that I have more time.

I find the relationships between marks and shapes and colors intriguing. Those relationships have the power to evoke memories and feelings, a sense of a specific time or place. For me art making is a kind of meditation…a way of slowing down, of escaping the obligations and business of everyday life.

I hope you enjoy my art and that it provides for you that same sense of escape…whether it’s away from something or toward something. Enjoy.

Jim Fiora has been creating photographs for fine art and commercial clients for

over 30 years. Primarily self taught, with no formal education in the arts, he

dropped out of college for engineering to pursue his passion for photography.

Jim was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with several talented

photographers and artists whom he retains as mentors to this day. He has

augmented this experience with workshops, class work and private study, all of

which has helped him solidify his vision and hone his technique.

Jim’s work has been widely exhibited throughout CT and is included in many

private collections.

Jim’s work explores the constructs and quirks of the built environment. His images are

punctuated with strong color and bold graphic forms. Often using colorful juxtapositions,

asymmetry and whimsy, he creates compositions that transcend their simple form and achieve a

poetic balance. All of Jim’s work demonstrates a strong respect for craft and the process of

printmaking.
