In the Studio with Ray Tigerman

Ray Tigerman invites us into his studio and into the landscapes that shaped his vision. Raised in Northern Nevada, he draws inspiration from the high desert, where dramatic mountains and shifting light create a sense of depth and quiet intensity. What may seem barren at first reveals itself as a place full of life, movement, and story.

Tigerman works at the intersection of abstraction and figuration, creating paintings that carry both visual impact and emotional weight. His focus on tonality and the balance between positive and negative space allows each composition to unfold gradually. Layers build upon one another, revealing moments of energy, stillness, and narrative.

In Sacred Spirits, Tigerman explores storytelling through a deeply intuitive process. Each work reflects a search for meaning that evolves on the canvas. The result is a body of work that feels alive with presence and intention, inviting viewers to connect with something both personal and expansive.
