painting is an experiment
Living on the scenic coast of North Carolina, my creative journey is deeply rooted in both the industrial and the elemental. Chris Bartosik transforms WD-40, carburetor cleaner, and volatile industrial materials into museum-caliber abstract works — each one impossible to replicate.
Each work is created through layered chemical reactions that can permanently damage the canvas if miscalculated. The process requires timing, control, and acceptance of irreversible decisions.
Original Abstract Art for Elevated Interiors & Luxury Spaces
“The most profound reward comes when others invite my art into their homes. Knowing that a piece of my passion and personality hangs on someone’s wall—that it becomes part of their daily life and story—brings me the greatest satisfaction. When others connect with what I was feeling and thinking during the creative process, that’s when my work truly comes alive.”

my why
“This journey isn’t just about technique or style; it’s about understanding how my creative process has evolved. I often wonder how my approach to making art has changed—what has shaped the way I participate in the act of creation? It’s fascinating to imagine myself, years from now, looking back at today’s work and reflecting on the colors, movements, and emotions that defined this chapter of my life.”
Non-Profit & Charity
Being able to use my art for good causes is such a joy. Recent projects with Habitat for Humanity and The Good Shepard examples are viewed in this section.
