Velco has been described as a Contemporary / Modern Post-Impressionist, Abstract-Impressionist and Expressionist Artist. His paintings are described as "colorful, energetic, rich with symbolism and texture while being both energetic and meditative / contemplative" as a summary from comments and posting in person and via the many websites where Velco interacts with global viewers and collectors. Velco's art layers translucent and opaque colors as styles intermix on the canvas in a thoughtful yet playful manner. Many are drawn into his paintings by the rich texture.
He uses his fingers to directly apply the acrylic onto canvas. The paint’s own texture, viscosity, volume, loading pattern and application method at the time of each stroke influences the outcome as it rolls, slides or jettisons off his fingers onto the canvas to be fixed in place. During his painting sessions, he acknowledges his planning while allowing himself full freedom to be influenced by the moment. In that space is where the majority of his application method takes root creating each work or series' final color, texture and form layer by layer.
His artwork can be multi-layered in symbolism and incorporate a bit of Expressionism, Impressionism, Pointillism, recycled materials such as shopping bags, found objects and tumbled crystal stones.
